Nowadays university education is considered very important for people's future. However, there are a lot of successful people who didn't get higher education. Do you think that higher education is necessary to succeed in life? Justify your opinion with relevant examples.

It is often believed that the higher the

degree

of studies, the higher the chance of succeeding.

However

and the increasing amount of job positions that do not require higher education, the statement seems to be outdated. With that said, I do not agree that higher education is necessary to succeed in life. When high school ends, students have the option to continue their studies, and depending on the choice of career, that path can be beneficial or a waste of time.

For example

, in the medical field, is important to pursue a major

. Looking at it in

this

way, it is understandable that it is not the level of studies that determined if someone will be, or not be, successful. Most of the time is the vision that one person holds and how they manage a business.

Besides

Bill Gates, we can look at Walt Disney, who did not go to college, but learned throughout his job as a cartoonist, how to produce movies, and slowly but surely, with smart moves like collaborating with armed forces in world war II, created one of the biggest companies: The Walt Disney Company. To conclude, in some cases it is important to have a

degree

,

for instance

, a nurse or occupational therapist, but in others what it takes is willpower and learning through practice.

Thus

, achieving a

degree

is not trivial for success, and it is inspiring to know that accomplishment and realization can come from inside, and not only depend on external causes.
