Unfortunately, there has been a lot of state influence to the current education programs and due to this, the goals are corrupted. This in turn, makes the graduates to lose their abilities to make their lives worth living.

Well, it is common knowledge that such values such as, clothing, recreation, food, medical care among others are man-made and require practical knowledge from the men. Education does not give an individual the right to get access to all the material wealth, but it only shows the men the path to achieving their success through their own efforts. A man has the freedom to enjoy most of his rights even though he is not educated. Knowing of such rights does not necessarily require someone to go to university. Many forums have been made available where people can gain knowledge without going to university. Subsequently, the advent of information technology has made it easier to access information and skills without undergoing the tormenting moments at university. Bill gates who invented use of Microsoft software is a college drop out. This did not prevent him from becoming successful in life (Lesisnki 76). Many countries have continued producing many graduates who have performed well in exams. There exists a substantial disparity between knowing and executing of skills. Application of skills forms a pivotal role in job performance. In many instances, universities have fallen short of imparting relevant practical skills, which are prominent in life.

During the era of the forefathers, when there used not to be universities, some still succeeded without having attended formal education. Knowledge and skills are two distinct qualities that enhance performance. Virtues are achieved over years. This depends on upbringing and cultural orientation. Depending on where one is brought up on, the individual will develop attributes that can either be negative or positive.

A number of successful people in the world have not attained university education. Kenyan athletes who are known worldwide are some of the successful people in terms of financial investment. From their back ground, majority of them did not even attain high school education and yet they are successful in their career of sports (Entine 56-67). Henry ford who never graduated in high school ended up becoming one of the successful people in automobile industry. In other words, education is not the key factor to success. One needs to possess these attributes of success by thinking outside the box and utilizing any arising opportunity (ward 45). To be successful, attributes like hard work, commitment and time management are called for. This attributes are not necessarily achieved through university education and even an illiterate person can posses them.

Opponents of this discussion advance facts that show education plays a vital role in enhancing one’s ability to succeed. Even if some of the successful people have not attained education, most of them have continued employing graduates to manage their jobs. This means even the un-educated successful people value those with education since they believe they have the right skills and knowledge that will make their business prosper.
