thought this may fall in line to a previous topic by John Scott but was on a level that deserved it's own topic.

Education is a key in one's future. Actually I think that using tax as investment for a student's education is not that well spent. I do agree that not all students are successful or are given proper or as said quality education. Though not all dreams include or requires academic achievements (e.g. acting, modeling, etc), but it pays to have an educational background. I know a lot of people who got their success in life even without having a degree or a high school diploma. Though education is not as easy as before (not as cheap, not much restrictions to the students)But education is the main key for a young student.

I would tend to agree. Education is a key starting point in life and does help those aspiring to be an active part of the business world. However, many people do start their own business and are successful without a degree. I guess it just matters how hard you work and how hard you want to obtain your goal. Believe it or not, but many people have made fortunes without a formal degree of any sort.
