Progress of the class hour: introduction: Today I want to talk to you very much important topics- discuss why education is needed, who is an educated person.

Discussion of issues.

First of all, let's try to answer a few questions: Question No. 1: “Do I need to study?” Question No. 2: “Why do you need to study?” Sample answers:

good grades

Question No. 3: “What is the difference between an educated person and an uneducated person?” Sample answers:

Why study?

One day there was a knock on Rabbi Naftali’s door. Naftali opened the door and, as usual, asked: “Why did you come?” “I came to learn from you,” the man answered. Naftali slammed the door and said: “Look for another place.” I am not a teacher. You will find someone else with whom to study the Scriptures. - But why? - Naftali’s wife asked him. - Why did you send him away? He comes across as genuinely thirsty. - Those who are interested in studying the Scriptures are, for the most part, stupid. They want to “hide,” Naftali said. The next day another man knocked. Naftali opened the door and asked: “Why are you here?” What do you want? “I came to learn to serve humanity next to you,” he answered. “Get lost,” said Naftali. - You've got the wrong door. The wife was amazed: “He didn’t ask to study the Scriptures with him.” He would make a great transformer of society or something similar. He wanted to serve humanity. Such a pure, believing soul. Why did you refuse him? “He who does not know himself,” said Naftali, “cannot serve anyone.” The result of his service is nothing but misfortune. On the third day, another person knocked. Naftali opened the door and asked: “What do you want?” “I’m very stupid,” he replied. “Can’t you help me get rid of this a little?” Naftali kissed him and said: “Come in.” I'm waiting for you. Discussion of the parable. Conclusion: You shouldn’t strive to gain only certain knowledge, you need to learn everything. All our knowledge will be useful to us. 3. Discussion of proverbs about teaching. What proverbs do you know about teaching? What is their meaning? Learning is light and ignorance is darkness. First az and beeches, and then science. An unlearned person is like an unsharpened axe. Repetition is the mother of learning. With knowledge you will obtain thousands of swords, but with the sword of knowledge you cannot obtain. (Persian proverb) A sage is known for knowledge, not birth. (Assyrian proverb) 4. Drawing up a portrait of an educated and uneducated person. Each of us has heard the phrase “educated person” and knows that everyone respects, appreciates, and treats him with sympathy. Each of us, I think, would like to be an educated person. Let's think about it - who is this and what qualities are inherent in him? What can you say about an uneducated person?

As it happens, higher education today must compete with cunning, chutzpah, and determination. The presence of the three listed qualities, as it seems to many, is quite enough to achieve material well-being. And on the contrary, their absence, even for a highly educated person, means complete career failure. Women's magazine Charla decided to figure out who wins today: the person who received higher education, but not having that very entrepreneurial spirit, or someone who was deprived of the joy of attending boring lectures, but endowed with the qualities necessary for successfully building a business.

Higher education: how it was

During the Soviet era, attitude towards higher education was completely different from what it is now. Universities were perceived as a passport to the world of prestigious professions of an engineer, doctor or economist. If you didn’t have a diploma, you could get a job as a factory worker.

But what do we have today? Many of those who received higher education in Soviet time, remained “overboard” back in the early 90s. At the same time, people who do not have higher education, but possessing those same notorious three qualities, were able to achieve material success.

Has education become worthless? No, the chances are just equal to some extent. The spiritual and intellectual side of the issue remained the same. But few people care about this, because a former engineer, who has two higher educations, and even knows that not only hair dye is permanent, can today sell behind a counter at the market next to a former janitor.

Assessing the current situation, many representatives of older generations were generally disappointed in higher education.

But the conclusion is not at all a call to be arrogant and cunning. A person who knows how to persuade, achieve goals, manage himself and, if necessary, people, and who also has a higher education, has a much better chance of success than a person without a higher education who actively uses his “breakthrough” qualities.

Yes, in universities there are no such subjects as “ways to achieve goals” or “methods of managing people.” But it is the university that develops those qualities that help reveal these abilities.

Higher education and prestigious professions

Also in kindergarten, when the children were asked the usual question about, Masha said that she would be a hairdresser. But when the time came to choose my path after school, my doctor mother insisted on enrolling in an economics university.

Today Masha works as a “small” accountant at a large factory and looks with slight envy at some of her friends who open their own hairdressing salons or, for example, nail service centers. It seems to her that even then, in kindergarten, she felt the current trend towards increasing the prestige of professions such as hairdresser or manicurist. And what was this for? higher education?

Yes, indeed, such professions are popular now, as well as the profession of a photographer, seamstress, bartender, and makeup artist. In general, many of those who did not receive higher education are at the peak of the wave of success.

But there are two “buts” here that should not be discounted.

Firstly, fashion changes quickly, and you need to be enterprising enough to change from a nail extension specialist to some other specialist. And will the master still be in demand, for example, at 50 years old? At the same time, Masha has every chance for career growth, and by the age of 50 she may well become a chief accountant with a good income.

Secondly, the market for service sector professionals is already quite saturated. And to stay afloat, you need unconditional talent. Do you feel it within yourself? Then it might be worth a try. But do not rush to talk about the uselessness of higher education. You will definitely need it in the future, because even the most interesting job may become uninteresting or unclaimed. That's when it will come Golden time for your diploma.

Another point related to the prestige of the profession concerns working in one’s specialty. Few people decide to connect their lives with the direction in which they received their education. Journalists with chemical education, accountants-engineers, environmental designers. Today, such specialists no longer surprise anyone. But is this right?

In our opinion, higher education should be perceived precisely as a base that gives more possibilities. But the opportunities are very different, and not exactly those that you have heard about for 5 years within the walls of your alma mater. Talent and desire, supported by intelligence, are the best help for successful career in any area.

Higher education: even the score

Learn not to divide everything into black and white. It is absolutely not necessary to completely abandon higher education or, on the contrary, to serve five years on the student bench while others gain work experience.

Almost all employers require experience. But even without a higher education, you are unlikely to be hired for a well-paid position. This means that you need to look for the optimal solution. Perhaps this will be the way out correspondence education or part-time work while studying. But in this case, there is still no place for great ambitions, and conversations like “I’d rather sit at home watching TV than work as a farmhand for two pennies” will not benefit anyone.

You need to understand that work while receiving higher education This is a great way to learn something hands-on. And for good training usually you have to pay. IN in this case- own time.

Many of those who read this article have long made a choice for themselves and have completed (or not completed) their legal five or six years at a university. Should we now regret the lost time or, on the contrary, go to get a higher education that was not completed? Our answer: higher education V modern world is necessary because you never know where life will take you. And it will be very disappointing to one day not get the coveted position simply because your competitor, who has similar work experience, received a higher education, but you did not.

What is personal success? Does higher education have an impact on success, and has higher education changed over time? last years? How education must change to meet modern requirements labor market? The rector of the Financial University under the Government shared his opinion with us on the topic “Higher education and personal success” Russian Federation, doctor economic sciences, Professor, Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation Mikhail Abdurakhmanovich Eskindarov.

ConsultantPlus: Many young people today strive to succeed in life. AND most ambitious youth can be found among students. You are the rector of one of the largest and prestigious universities Russia, authoritative scientist and public figure. What do you think success is? What does a young man need to become successful today? What is the importance of higher education for success?

Mikhail Abdurakhmanovich Eskindarov: Success and education are certainly interrelated phenomena, but I would not put a higher education diploma at the forefront. There is no doubt that a person striving to achieve success in business or in social activities, must be well prepared.

But we must keep in mind that the “classroom” education received at a university is just a base. In addition, you must be able to educate yourself. A person, if he wants to be successful, must study every day. This is an objective requirement dictated by life itself. It is determined by the entire logic of the development of society as a whole.

Unfortunately, society has an idea that a person who has not received a higher education cannot be successful. I disagree, this is a very simplistic approach. Often the tragedy lies precisely in the fact that, having received a diploma, the graduate thinks that he further fate will go upward and he will receive big money, honor, respect and so on. However, this is not quite true. Education is the basis for success, but this is the initial basis that we can talk about. It is necessary to develop further, gain new knowledge and skills. To achieve success, it is very important to create contacts, make friends, build relationships with them, not manage, but, as one said famous figure, live with them. Let me give you an example from our university. In the 1990s - 2000s, many of our young graduates achieved success precisely because they supported each other after graduation. The older generations, who graduated from the university earlier, invited young graduates to work, supported and promoted them. Along with knowledge, studying in good university allows you to acquire the ability to live and work in a team.

Consultant Plus: Education reform is currently underway in Russia. Universities are moving to a two-level system of training specialists. This outer side reforms visible to the "naked eye". You are a person aware of the situation from the inside. Please tell us what the essence of the changes is, how will they affect the quality of higher education and, ultimately, the success of university graduates?

Mikhail Abdurakhmanovich: Education reform is a very popular topic today. A lot has been done, and it’s time to monitor what we have achieved and decide on the direction of further movement. I cannot agree with those who call for giving up everything and returning to Soviet education. Yes, it was quite good, but times and living conditions change. Now there are market relations that dictate other requirements, including for education.

When they talk about education reform, first of all they have type of Unified State Exam and, accordingly, admission to universities, as well as transition to the so-called level Bologna system training of specialists. I don't see anything wrong with this. If we live in a global community, if we join the WTO, if we accept the rules of the game, then we must play by these rules. Our task is to provide high quality training. This is where the main danger lurks. We have great amount universities and if all of them - both state and commercial - begin to train not only bachelors, but also masters, it will be extremely difficult to ensure quality. Because, unfortunately, neither personnel composition teachers, neither the material and technical base, nor the availability teaching laboratories do not allow most universities to provide training for masters. A master's degree is a completely different professional level.

Consultant Plus: What is the fundamental difference between bachelors and masters?

Mikhail Abdurakhmanovich: Let's take our university. We prepare bachelors in economics, management, law, mathematics, and IT technologies. Moreover, preparation is carried out “according to profiles” professional activity. What does this mean? Bachelors of Economics, for example, study finance and credit, taxes and taxation, analysis and audit, world economy. At their level they receive basic knowledge and master the basics of professional activity. They can easily go to financial and banking institutions or any production and take the corresponding position. But in order to be a professional in a narrow specific field, for example in the field of banking management, or to successfully work at the intersection of economics and law, say, legal support economics, the knowledge acquired in a bachelor's degree is not enough. That's what a master's degree is for. At our university you can choose from more than 30 master's programs.

The master's degree is designed to finally determine the path of development of a specialist; it is the basis of his vocational guidance. A bachelor’s degree is the basis that allows him to start working professionally. By the way, world experience shows that in countries that are switching to level training, first 70-80% of bachelor's graduates go to master's programs, but over time this number decreases to 25-30%. Therefore, if a bachelor comes to a bank or somewhere else, then before the required professional level, as is customary in the West, the graduate must complete his own The educational center employer.

Consultant Plus: Do we now have such centers in Russia?

Mikhail Abdurakhmanovich: Must be. In the west it is common occurrence. No one will simply be allowed directly to the workplace, even if he is the most best graduate himself best university. As soon as a newcomer arrives at production, he must undergo testing and selection, after which he is sent to a training center, where lectures are given and professional analysis of specially prepared cases is carried out.

Consultant Plus: Can, for example, an engineer with a specialization enroll in your master's program?

Maybe if he studied micro- and macroeconomics well. Another exam that he must pass at our university, regardless of what direction he is in, is a foreign language. Without a foreign language, no matter how outstanding a specialist he may be, it is impossible now. And first of all, without English. Without it, the success we talked about will not happen. We are in a world system where English dominates. An accountant, for example, who does not know English, has very limited prospects for professional growth, because all terminology, and primarily reporting, is presented in English language. Largely because in Soviet times little attention was paid to foreign languages, many of our scientists and research teams are lagging behind. Our universities and scientific centers do not make it into world rankings because scientific literature published in English, scientific works cited in English-language publications.

Consultant Plus: Financial University is one of the largest financial universities Russia, your graduates are highly valued by employers. What is the secret of the university's success? What are the most important indicators quality of education provided by your university?

Mikhail Abdurakhmanovich: Today, 93% of the Financial University graduates work in their specialty. We have research to back up these numbers. Let's look at the materials for the 2010 release. At the beginning of June, 78% of graduates were already working. In February - 97%. If we clarify by faculties, then in “Accounting and Auditing” 100%, in the Faculty of Taxes and Taxation - 99%. Lowest result was at the International Faculty of Economics - 91%. By the way, this faculty was graduating bachelors, and all these “unemployed” were going to go to master's programs.

How do our graduates rate their level? vocational training? 96.5% of surveyed graduates rate theoretical knowledge received in Financial University, at a high and very high level. I think this is very good. A little worse when we're talking about Regarding practical training, only 71% of graduates rate the level of practical training at a high and very high level. We understand this. Therefore, we are now opening departments together with PriceWaterhouseCoopers, KPMG, the Association of Russian Banks, and Vnesheconombank in order to attract even more highly qualified practitioners to teach at the university. And the second, counter-direction - we have set the task for all university teachers to undergo an internship once every three years in production: in banks, in insurance companies.

Consultant Plus: Where do your graduates most often work?

Mikhail Abdurakhmanovich: Banks take first place. They are followed by consulting and auditing. About 7% go to work for government agencies, approximately the same number open their own business, work in leasing and tourism companies, and are engaged in construction and real estate. Approximately 5% work in insurance and investment, 8% are engaged in science and teaching.

Consultant Plus: Are your graduates willing to hire?

Mikhail Abdurakhmanovich: Unfortunately, even too willingly. Many guys start working in their third and fourth years. And such students begin to imagine that they already know everything and begin to skip classes. Ultimately, both students and employers suffer. Therefore, we expect to prohibit undergraduate students from working in the near future. If you came to study, study. You'll still have time to work.

Consultant Plus: It turns out that a diploma from the Financial University is a kind of sign of the quality of a specialist?

Mikhail Abdurakhmanovich: I really hope so, but the final assessment must be made by graduates and employers themselves. Graduates say yes. So far, none of the employers have told us: “You are preparing bad specialists". And it would be regrettable if a university under the Government of the Russian Federation prepared poorly. After all, we head the educational and methodological association of Russian universities. We say: “Do as we do, do better than us.” But we must always be ahead. Very simple principle.

Consultant Plus: Today, computers and software are widely used in all areas of activity. Confident mastery of advanced information technologies has become a kind of quality standard for university graduates. Understanding this, the ConsultantPlus company, within the framework of its non-profit project "Program information support Russian science and Education" has been cooperating with Russian universities for about 20 years, providing teachers and students with free access to their information resources.

How the Financial University prepares students to use information technologies in their future professional activities?

What is your attitude towards using reference books? legal systems in training lawyers, economists and management specialists?

Mikhail Abdurakhmanovich: To answer this question, we must return again to the problems associated with education reform. The reform will only be successful if we teach students to work independently. Today our main focus is on classroom training, and this is not entirely correct. Unfortunately, the teacher himself does not always have time to master everything new that appears every day in science and industry, and accordingly, he cannot convey this to students. We must provide students with access to the most current and reliable information - read, get acquainted, analyze, work independently. The teacher’s task is to help understand this information, to be not a mentor, but a teacher, a guide, to show the direction of movement, and not to lead the student by the hand. Information at the present time is perhaps the most important thing. Your system is a very successful confirmation of this. Why is the ConsultantPlus system necessary in educational process? It contains the latest legal information and analytics. So let's give the student the opportunity to familiarize himself with this information. Let him work on his own in the library, and eventually, in the park on a bench. Modern technology provides such an opportunity.

I repeat once again: information is very important thing. And training people who can work with it and do analysis is important for our field. Therefore, we are training IT specialists for the financial and banking sector who will be able to work at the intersection of technology and economics. We actively recommend the use of legal programs, and primarily ConsultantPlus, in the educational process at specialized faculties. For many years now, we have been holding competitions for knowledge of the ConsultantPlus system and attracting other universities to this. In addition, our employees, not only teachers, actively use the system. Whatever you ask, they immediately refer to ConsultantPlus. This kind of help and support is important element preparing students for practical activities. This cooperation is very important for us.

Consultant Plus: Thank you very much, Mikhail Abdurakhmanovich for interesting conversation. What would you wish for a current student?

Mikhail Abdurakhmanovich: I will repeat: a student, after leaving the university, must continue to study. No matter how trivial it may sound, without this it is impossible to achieve success. A student, or rather, no longer a student, but a specialist, must educate himself, improve himself and develop throughout his life.

Planned results of the class hour “Education is the path to success.”

Progress of the class hour

Teacher. Hello guys! Today we have an unusual class hour. Now in all classes of our school there are cool watch on one topic: “Education is the path to success.” We will understand the question: how to achieve success, what you need to do to become a successful person.

And now let's turn again to the topic of our class hour. "Education is the path to success." It's no secret that each of us would like to be a successful person. It is no coincidence that when we congratulate each other on any holiday, we wish each other success: in studies, in creativity, etc. So what is success? What associations do you have when we say the word success?

Keywords: education, active life position, cooperation, work, achievements, creativity, success.

The words “education and success” are written on the board.

Students express their opinions, name associations, as a result of which the following notes appear on the board.

Teacher. What does it take to succeed? So that all the components of success you named come true? Let's try to figure it out. I will offer you statements with which you can agree, disagree, or answer “I don’t know.” If you agree with my statement, then please stand near the sign with the word YES. If you don’t agree, stand next to the NO sign. If you find it difficult to answer this question, then your answer is I DON’T KNOW.

– I believe that K.S. Stanislavsky was right when he asserted: “Every day that you have not supplemented your education with at least a small, but new piece of knowledge for you, consider it fruitless and irrevocably lost for yourself.”

– I believe that Thomas Edison, the famous inventor, was wrong when he said: “I firmly believe in luck. And I noticed the harder I work, the luckier I am.” (I believe that to achieve success, you have to work hard).

– I believe that the path to success begins with failures.

– I believe that a successful person has no right to make mistakes.

– I believe that in order to succeed, you need to be understanding of other people, which will help cooperation.

– I believe that the formula for failure is trying to please everyone.

– Once King Ptolemy asked Euclid: “Are there any ways to learn geometry faster and easier?” For what great mathematician replied: “No royal ways into geometry! So, the statement: there are no “royal paths to success.”

Teacher. So the last statement:“Knowledge, work, taking into account mistakes, cooperation with other people, defending your point of view - all this is education.”

Students agree with this statement.

Teacher. What conclusion can we draw by looking at our table? (Table: Education and success, slide 4).

The guys conclude: “To succeed, you need education.”

Teacher. Of course, we have not named all the components of education that lead to success; there are many more of them.

Way to success:

“Look back at the past often, enjoy the present, dream about the future.”

Have a dream
Develop a plan
Set goals
Find the right solutions, make the right choices
Draw the right conclusions
Find the right motivations for your actions
Learn all the time
Involve others with you
Learn from mistakes
Don't forget about your individuality
Use common sense

Meanwhile, the secret of successful people is not at all in their pathological luck, but in a fundamentally different attitude towards failures: for them, any mistake is the greatest blessing and a motivation for action!

Understanding the reasons for failure and the ways to achieve success is useful for more productively paving the path to success.

Successful people:

YES. Medvedev is the path to success.

M.V. Lomonosov - the path to success.

The great Edith Piaf, the voice of the 20th century, began her journey as a street tramp who earned money by entertaining passers-by with songs. She was born on the sidewalk, raised in a brothel, got into accidents dozens of times, miraculously surviving. Those who later said that if it were not for them, not for their faith in her, she would never have become famous turned away from her. But Edith lived every day as if she were going to die tomorrow.

Whoopi Goldberg, like many Hollywood actors, was initially anything but an actress. While cleaning up trash at a construction site, she believed in herself. And today directors are running after her, offering millions in fees.

Conclusion: People with education achieve success faster.

MECHANISMS FOR ACHIEVEMENT OF SUCCESS

To achieve success, you must understand and do the following:

Are you tired of failure and don’t want to live like this anymore?act nowchange your life.
The keys to success are in your pocket. You need to bake your success every minute.Don't complain about lack of time.There are as many hours in your day as Einstein, Pushkin, Korolev...
Real goals and active work- the main engines of success. Luck loves to be conquered throughout your life. Allow yourself to relax and she will slip away from you. Plan your actions clearly and be active.
Long live the new day!Strive to live each day to the fullest. Put in as much effort as possible to achieve maximum results today.
Faith in success . Remember to engage in positive programming: “I know for sure that everything will work out for me.”
Search for success . Success does not choose us, but we choose it. Include creativity mechanisms as much as possible.
Often, one in the field is not a warrior.Develop your abilities to successful interaction with other people.
Not only the result is important, but also the process. Learn to receive satisfaction not only in moments of achieving results, but also in the process of work, overcoming difficulties.
Patience and a little effort. Work on yourself, and if it doesn’t work out, keep working!

WHAT PREVENTS A PERSON TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS?

Live in the past. Concentrating on it as the best part of his life, a person leaves no energy and time for the present and future and is not immune from accidents.
See yourself as a victim of evil fate, fatal coincidence circumstances.
Believing that there is always only one thing correct solution, the only way out. This makes it impossible to see new ones effective solutions and achieve success.
Engage in negative programming.
Focus on the unpleasant aspects of the situation. Invent new problems for yourself that do not allow you to succeed.
Believe in fatal prophecies.

A person experiences a feeling of success and happiness only when he achieves his goal. Pursuit of a goal is the key to happy life. A person is a creature that is focused on a specific goal. A state of happiness is a sign of normal, natural life. When a person acts purposefully, he feels relatively happy.

Any goal can be achieved by applying the formula for success.

But what moral values choose what attitude to develop towards the gymnasium, towards studies, towards teachers, towards students, towards parents in order to become successful? After all, a person’s lifestyle and his relationships with people depend on the choice of values.

Students are asked to pave the road to their goal with the building blocks of moral values: what moral values to choose and what attitude to develop towards parents, friends, school and studies. The Gymnasium Student's Code of Honor is displayed.

Conclusion. Children's findings.

Hello, friends. Today is November 4, 2016, and in this article we will try to understand the question of whether higher education is necessary in our time to modern man in current living conditions.

It’s worth noting right away that the topic is very sensitive, so your opinion may differ radically from the proposed version. Please share your thoughts in the comments.

If we consider the domestic labor market 20-25 years ago (or earlier), then people with a higher education diploma were by default considered first-class specialists in their field. Therefore, every decent parent considered it his duty to educate his child, thus giving him a “ticket to a comfortable future.”

Let's think about whether this model works now? Offhand, several contradictory opinions can be identified:

Today no one needs a diploma.
Higher education has always been valued and its importance should not be underestimated.

Let's look at each opinion, and then try to draw a conclusion in favor of one of the options.

Point of view No. 1. No one is interested in education

As the first reinforced concrete proof, I would like to present short list people who did not need a diploma to fulfill their dreams and achieve success in life.

Michael Dell. Since 2013 included in the list of 100 richest people planets (49th place). IN currently the amount of his capital exceeds 16 billion.
Bill Gates . From the age of 13 he began to actively move towards his goal. Mastered programming and founded Microsoft. With enviable frequency, he tops the ranking of the world's richest people.
Coco Chanel. It is difficult to meet a person who was able to influence the fashion trends of the last century so much. Despite the fact that Coco passed away in 1971, her creation (the house of Chanel) continues to conquer the planet today.
John Rockefeller. The first dollar billionaire in human history. Achieved success from poverty, without outside help or advice. It is impossible to imagine how powerful this man's impact was on the US industrial sector.
Walt Disney. I don’t know if it’s worth commenting on this name at all. An amazing person whose masterpieces will live in our hearts forever.

As noted, this is a fairly limited list of people to look up to.

Now let's look at a few more reasons in favor of the fact that traditional education not necessary:

One-sided and excessively wide supply of material.
Low quality of teaching, based on the presentation of useless and unclaimed theories.
Inflated cost of training, without any guarantee of subsequent employment.
Great amount educational universities disrupts the balance in the labor market. As a result, supply clearly dominates demand, and many specialists are forced to look for an alternative source of income (often extremely unpleasant).

Today, if a person really needs knowledge, there are many paid/free courses and trainings that allow you to quickly progress in your chosen direction. It's much faster and cheaper than going to college.

Let's say if you want to get a popular Internet profession and self-realization, you can do it in online university Netology.

With such preparation, the emphasis is on useful knowledge, rather than on completing a bloated 5-year abstract program that has no practical foundation.

Don't believe me? According to statistics, about 80% of new employees hear the phrase “ forget everything you were taught at your institute" Agree, there is something to think about.

But for example, here is a list of courses and trainings on the Internet that have good feedback and give me confidence:

Opportunity to get a position in a better company.
Broad prospects for career advancement.
Stable workplace with all social security.
New acquaintances, business connections.

In addition to all this, a diploma is an element of prestige and is intended to increase human self-esteem. Well, it's time to move on to the conclusion.

So, is higher education necessary? It’s unfortunate, but it’s impossible to answer unequivocally. It all depends on your priority life goal.

To figure it out, ask yourself questions like this:

What prospects does a diploma open?
Is there a more effective and faster way to achieve the desired result?
Will lack of formal education affect your image? How strong? Is it possible to survive this?

Only after receiving honest answers can you make the only correct decision. Good luck!
