Does that qualify as being “successful”?
There are also many people who are not highly educated, but are passionate about what they do, who make tons of money.
There are also those who are not highly educated, but are passionate about what they do, who don’t make tons of money, but make a perfectly adequate living.
It all depends on how one defines “success.”[/quote]
I agree 100%. However, education seems to be the strongest indicator of success for the bulk of people. Go to law school or med school and as long as you put your timein at work you are pretty much going to make a lot of money. While its nice to think about passionate folks with limited educations, their numbers are far smaller even though the stories of them are nice to hear.
