Greetings friends. How are you doing? I hope you and your family is doing great? It's really good to have you here once again. It's another week of the steemit accelerator contest. Today, I will be sharing with you on the basis of formal education and the paths to financial freedom. Just read on;🤗
Must you have a degree before you have a well paying job? Explain with experiences if any
It is false and myth for one to believe that you must have a degree before getting a well paying job. Education is very crucial and important in everyone's life, but several career paths doesn't require a certificate or degree. For one to be successful and have a good paying job, there are other alternatives to consider that includes training options. These are skills that one obtain in order to live a good life.
Some of these skills includes; Tailoring, hairstyling, plumbering, graphic designers, web developers, catering, furnitures, etc. Take for instance, if one should learn a skill like tailoring and gets to have an opportunity to work in a very reputable and well paying fashion house, such a person has already made it through his or her skills. So in all, Education is important in life, so as skills are too.

Is the contest title trying to condemn education?
No, not at all. Education is the foundation for success to any business. Formal education is very necessary in everyone's life, but it's not the only way to gain financial freedom. Learning of skills is very profitable, especially in this present Nigeria economy. So, what am trying to say here is that education cannot only be the way to financial freedom. The reality here is that having a degree alone is not enough to set you free from financial independence.
Is it dangerous to have the view that you can only make money after schooling?
Apparently, yes it is. It is highly risky to believe that after schooling, you must get a well paying job, especially in Nigeria. Getting a well paid job after schooling or getting a degree has become the mindset of some people and they tend to believe that there is an awaiting jobs for them. But my point of view here is that being a graduate or getting a degree doesn't guarantee that you make money or get a good job.
As it stands now, my elder sister @chigraze is a graduate and holds a BSC degree in mass communication, but that her certificate didn't fetch her a well paying job. Currently now, she is a hair stylist and have established her own business through her skills. Also, i have learnt tailoring as a skill, and since then i have been able to make clothes for people and get paid. Infact, this fashion designing work has made me solely independent. So overall, it is very risky for one to think that only your degrees or certificate can make you successful in life.

How has steemit proven that you must not finish school before you start making money?
Truth be told, Steemit has really been of a good help to me. This platform has already created the insight in me that I cannot only make money through education. From steemit, I have been able to solve problems, tackle issues, sort out things, buy sewing machine, accessories and so on. Indeed, steemit ecosystem has been a helping hand to me and my family. I started steemit on May, 2022 and since then I have been able to make money from it without any degrees or certificate. So let's not be deceived..!!

CONCLUSION:
In Summary, Education is important in the society so as skills are too, but education cannot only be the way to financial freedom in life. Many people who didn't get a degree or certificate are doing very well in their different businesses through their skills. So, my honest advise for everyone especially people living in Nigeria is that we should consider skills too and make money from there too. Thank you all..!! Here comes the end of my post today.. I specially invite my friends @saintkelvin17 @entity01 @chiomzy810 to join this contest. Thank you once more..😇
