We see that many of the most successful individuals across the world are either school drop outs with no degrees or any intellectual pursuits of an academic nature.Just to name a few – Bill Gates( Microsoft ) , Larry Ellison ( Oracle ) , Michael Dell ( Dell Comp) , Dhirubhaii Ambani ( Reliance India) were all high school drop outs but that did not stop them from being brilliant and achieving success for themselves and managed to change the world and themselves ….most of the brilliant hollywood actors too are school drop outs !
So this makes one wonder whether academic education or a university degree is really essential or is it the capacity or the personal charisma of a person that makes him succeed no matter where he is. Education no doubt adds on to his calibre to succeed in what he takes up...

The above mentioned names of people are talented people. Just think what is common between these people. Ofcourse they are not well educated but they sthey all started their own business. A buisnessman dont require the tons of degree, he requires only the ability to take the risk . All of these people took risk in their life to settle the business and luckily it worked out for them.
But this is not the case with jobs. U need to have the tone of degree to get the huge salary.Even if a person hes immense talent but no degrees the job opportunity goes away.

The persons you named either lived or live a few hundred years ahead of their times and form exceptions rather than the rule. Rabindra Nath Tagore was also one of them.but that did not prevent him from finding his true place under the sun!
I agree that they are exceptionally talented and focus4ed people who have made a success of their life...I guess an average person needs the help that education provides him in making a career for himself ..

But one needs to have talent and other qualities to run a successful business empire it does not happen only by taking risks and also by leaving everything to luck. it also needs a lot of hard work ,dedication and a keen sense of observational powers...
The university degrees are necessary for most individuals for entry in a profession or a company. There are talented individuals without high professional qualifications. They also cannot get entry in firms as employees or get in profession like medicine, law. They get success as self employed. For example, Ambani and Bill gates got success as self employed businessmen.
But there is always a way to get success if you have knowledge and experience but not prescribed qualification. For example, if you have knowledge of law but no degree, there is nothing to stop you from writing books and articles on law.. Also, you may give consultancy from chamber and prepare appeals and briefs and engage some other advocate to appear in court.

Some of those people are even better than the advocates and are able to do everything other than attend courts and submit documents.I suppose the fact that they have no degree makes them even more interested in getting all the relevant information and keeping themselves up to date...

I am in central excise consultancy. The consultants without law degree can appear before commissioner (Appeals) and Tribunal. They can not appear only in High Court and supreme Court. Thus there is tremendous scope even without law degree. Many consultants are retired government employees and have thus good experience in government rules and law.
I don't want to say that professionally may experienced but Sir education is must to be a international figure.
I think you have not read the first post and the thread. The most successful international figures mentioned are those without formal qualifications. These include Bill gates and Dhiru Bhai Ambani.

Exactly, Education no doubt gives you an added advantage but for someone who is talented and has the motivation, drive and is goal oriented , lack of education is not a deterrent , they will become successful no matter what...

Sir these are exceptional. Suppose you are a big man and you don't know English then you may feel uncomfortable while speaking with some foreign delegates.

The thread is simple. If you have knowledge, do you need degree. This is all. From your example- I must know English to speak to a foreigner. But do I also need Master degree in English? I hope the thread should be clear now.

I don't mind anything. But we should read threads properly and then reply. Even in exam hall, you first read question and then reply accordingly.
Education makes people aware of good and bad aspects of life. You get sharp mind to take decisions. You are able to work more mentally rather than physically, etc.
If a celebrity is less educated, it does not mean that we should stop studying and make career in haste for money.
All celebrities have good as well as bad time phases in life. They all have gone through tremendous hardships because they were less educated. Therefore they make their children highly qualified before starting their career.

The celebrities were not less educated and knowledgeable. Only they lacked formal education that they made up with informal study and experience. Many ordinary persons are also like that.
