There’s no definite ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ answer to
this.
Yes, we have heard stories of successful
leaders and entrepreneurs who were/are at the very top in their field. Bill
Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Michael Dell, Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein, Thomas
Edison and Oprah Winfrey are possibly the most popular names who either never
went to the college or dropped their formal education. But there are also many
names that did attend college and changed the world.
Sadly, some people romanticize with the
idea of “college dropout” too much these days that they completely overlook the
large population of the mentioned latter group. But there are also few of those
who synonym ‘formal education’ with higher knowledge and intelligence; they
over-prioritize the idea of going to college just to blend in the conventional
crowd; they seek qualifications more than the real knowledge.
A research found that 94 percent of top
selected U.S. leaders attended college.
We also need to consider the role that
internet is playing today in our lives. Free courses are available in abundance
for people who really want to learn.
So, to answer this question, if going to
college is a waste of time and money, IT REALLY DEPENDS ON INDIVIDUAL CASES. If
you want to be a doctor, yes it is very much important. But if you want to make
hospitals and take other such initiatives, it is not “mandatory” as some people
may have had you believe.
