What is the importance of education?

Answer by  bean11 (2803)

There are rich people who didn't complete school, but they are not the norm. Higher education will provide you with a well-paying job that people respect.

Often the rich people have other advantages that poorer people don't, such as connections. Education is important because it shows you have specialization and experience. Employers look for this.

There is a strong correlation between wealth and education. While there are a few rich people who didn't graduate high school, those who did often inherited their wealth or excelled in sales, which requires no higher education. The odds of being poor are about 90% if you lack a high school degree.

Education helps maintain a society's health standards, rhetoric, persuasion techniques and problem solving abilities. It provides practical tools for life, as well as providing outlets for creativity and personal enjoyment.
