I explain to my children if you get a good education you could be a surgeon, a teacher, a lawyer, a mechanic, a store manager, or you could choose to be a garbage collector, a labourer, or you could choose to pack shelves in a supermarket...
If you don't get a good education...... you don't have as much choice because you can't be a surgeon, a teacher, a lawyer etc...
Education gives people more choices...
Very basic education gives people more freedom, for instance a person who learns to read and write and basic maths can more easily go on tot eah themselves more later in life if they want to simply by accessing books on the subject.
Also if you can read work contracts and understand money then you know what your boss is offering you in retur for your work.
If it can not be helped that a person has no choice to gain a higher education for now they do not need to give up on it altogether. It is quite possible and reasonable to gain more education later in life.
poverty does prevent many people from being in school or staying in school and this is a very sad thing as one of the keys to overcoming poverty is an education.

I'm assuming you either live outside of the USA or in a poverty stricken area of the USA. Education can open doors, however, maybe in the place you are living it is not readily available. If you can't find a way to get a college or high school education. You may want to take up a specialized trade, which will set you apart from others. They say if you have a will, there is a way. If you want to explore advancing your education, talk to a local guidance consular or seek out someone who can lead you in the right direction. You are here on earth for a purpose, I am sure, with the right decisions and guidance you will be able to achieve your personal and professional goals. Never give up and never surrender, keep trying and a door will open for you...Good Luck...

They always say that the key to success is education, but sometimes I find that to be untrue. To be successful nowadays you need talent, a way with people, and a good idea if you don't have the education. If you have the education, you need the way with people and a good awareness of the world around you. I've learned that employers like people who are well rounded and can articulate themselves well. So even if you don't have an education, you can still work, but you do need to make sure you have good grammar and math skills because those are invaluable.

You could, if you like working at Burger King. But even college educated people are facing unemployment. I think if you work hard, you can make it anywhere. Education is overrated sometimes.

You will be able to work without a good education. As long as you can fill out the forms, you're ok.

You CAN work at any time in the US, but maybe fruit picking isn't for you huh? Why not practice English class or go to a local library and learn as much as you can there?

You can work but your choices may be limited by your education level. It really depends on what you want to do with your life and how much you want your situation to improve. If you really want to succeed, you must be prepared to work hard in whatever you do.

Sure, you can work. But you shouldn't give up on your education. Ever. No matter what your age. You can always learn.

Yes, but you will earn less during your lifetime without education. But experience can sometimes be more important.
