In today's society, having at least a bachelor degree is considered to be the bare minimum requirement before entering the job market. Employees who only graduate from secondary school can only apply for low-income paying jobs. However, there are exceptions of successful people who pursue a career through entrpreneurship and utilize their talents to make a living and gain their social status. While some say education plays a major part in their success, some argue that their effort, use of soft skills and gifted abilities are their main reason of their success. I believe in modern world, higher education is not necessary to succeed in life, as it is more important to acquire knowledge and skills from social experience, not from textbooks.
