I wanna start a career in information technology and earn an associate's degree (make $$$ mostly) one day. do you think it's important to have an educated background in this day and age and are/how serious about it.

No, if you want to start your own business.

Of course.

Very serious.

Yes, definitely.

I feel it is very important going to college ( a good one preferably) and have good grades as it will impact considerably your future.

Though, there are several other things that play an important role in your future career: appearance, ability to express yourself, knowing several languages, etc, etc..

I am serious to the point where I would contemplate backstabbing people to reach my educational goals




















Jk, but I do try my best to achieve my education to the highest degree

Definitely, especially with the economy today.. it is vital tbh.

Yes, to the extent where I'm able to **** people over to achieve something better myself.


but I'm gonna be a singer so not really
but it is to make the world go round.

Yes cause it gets you further and more opportunities etc. It all depends if you are clever though. I'm kinda dumb though and not very clever so it probably won't have helped me.

Starting a business is the easy part...making it profitable is the hard part.
I think it was like 60% of US businesses fail within the first 3 years of starting

Yes it is very important to me. I'm thinking about working in education later

Very.

Yes because when you're educated you're above everybody else and you are better than the law (See: Woman on the Train)

LMAO.

Seriously though I do think education is important. Not just because it will help you find a better job or make you more money but mainly because I think education can help you become a well rounded person. If you study and know information on various topics you can talk about anything you want. Not just sports or make up. You can delve into different topics. I just believe education can make a person very well rounded. That's not the case for everybody, depending on your personality and beliefs, but for the most part I think it makes you a better person

you shouldn't strive for education just to earn the $. Its also good to have an open and intelligent mind, which is often a result of education.

Yes of course!

I got a primary education diploma and one from high school.

Went to college, but didn't make it into the second year. I actually need a diploma from there for the future, but since I got a steady and important job I'm postponing it, and I might even not finish it ever.

!!!!!

You need some sort of education to have a business. You should learn about the industry you are going in and the competition or your business will fail.

Agreed, the money will come anyways if you go after an education, or at least it'll make it much easier to get so.

Many men and women have succeeded in creating businesses while being college dropouts (http://www.twincommas.com/billionaire-college-dropouts, but I do believe those are the exceptions. However, for that particular example of opening a business I think it is more important to have good ideas as well as being street smart, which isn't something that any education can give to you.
