Is an educational background needed if an individual has 2b successful in his career

[melroy88]

Is a person's inherent talent enough to make him a success in his chosen profession? Is an institutionalized education in his field of practice a formality that merely given the person more credibility than increase his chances at doing well professionally?

[melroy88]

A degree or domain knowledge matters only 20% in achieving career goals.One needs to look smart,talk smart and act smart to achieve career goals.
street smartness is an essential factor

[sid_8888]

educational background is just one further step 2 move into the direction u want to.... but to really very successful it is necessary for us to be more practical and smart.... smart ppl always do better in life.... We all know that how successful was DHIRUBHAI AMBANI.... he had nt dn MBA... bt still better than all of us

[hiral]

[swappy]

Hey ppl we r denying the fact that education is the only sure way of achieving our goals or else y would we pursue our career in MBA gimme one person over here who would say tht he would quit ny kinda education nd buld an empire of his own this is not possible now-a-days.....

[jack_spro]

i dont think so it totally depend upon your hardworking and skills

[javed_hasrat]

Yes it is necessary

[deepakraam]

Hey,
You don't need to have education to really succeed n ur career.Take the example of Sachin.He is the most successful batsman the world has ever produced.But he failed in SSLC.But his hardwork and passion for cricket made him to get on to the top of cricket world.There are lots of examples like this (Azim premji,Bill gates etc...).So Education is not the only criteria to have a successful career.You can be in the zenith of your life w/o Education but nt w/o Hardwork.

[priyanka.b]

Education plays a major role in building ones career.it gives a proper direction to your life.

[daisychauhan]

Yes educational background is needed if an individual has 2b successful in his career, but it only plays role of starter to your career, rest all depends on ur practical knowledge & experience

[aseem85]

no an educational background is not needed as if a person has a passion,confidence and zeal to do the job he will be successful in his outcome irrespective of his education degree

[Abby]

it depends

gr8 people lik Dhirubhai Ambani,Bill Gates.......dnt hv a good educational background yet they r successfull

but such person are found 1 in a million...

education chanalize the person but it cant make a person successfull..
its his ability and skills tats matters d most
so the person should take into account his skills and ability..

[rinksw]

i feel an educational background is nt necessary. important is experience in tht particular field. dnt forget tht experienced guys earn more thn freshers.

[prasadaney]

no not at all
see the examples like Dirubhai, Premji
they r not so educated but still they managed it
It must be inherently
Business borns not made

[nandanmaru]

Not necessary that an educational back Ground is important..But than u should be One in 1 Million for that......and if u are not...Than U need to be having educational background...

[akruti]

Not necessary,Education only strengthens the base of a persons business sense which is based on his individual talent is not dependent on education only,the inherent talent blossoms if helped by education ALSO but it is not compulsory to be educated to be a successful entrepreneur .

[rajanshah.mba]

not needed..we have so many examples of successful persons...without education...like karsan bhai-nirma..dhiru bhai-reliance ..etc

[anand_p19]

[oosi_p]

[melroy88]

many gr8 entrepreneurs were not collge grads......
If you elaborate on your answer and give examples it will be a great answer,anyways nice going.

[rajunair]

To each his own ...we cannot compare one person 2 the other some gain by formal education other learn with Exp

[kyhs207]

I would say LEARNING is important if one has to be sucessful in career.
let's replace 'educational' with the word 'LEARNING'.
Learning includes everything !!!

[sony2007]

You need educational background but also a fire in the belly to have a vision and achieve it. without this vision education won't help you.

[shwethaganesh]

yes educational background is also required but more than that personal experience and skills are needed.. both are required for a successful career..

[wonsteffi]

yes it's necessary in the first few years of working. but it's not that important once you fill your CV with other work experience.

[Nitin1987]

Hey,

A person may have the passion, confidence and zeal to do the job but he is sitting ducks if he does not know what to do and how to go about it. Education in that field allows for that.

Consider the Dhirubhais and the Bill Gates' who have been cited by many – the fact you will see that they themselves may not have been educated but they have definitely sent their children to the top institutes for getting the necessary education and “degrees”. If education did not have a value or was irrelevant in the performance of the individual why did they send their kids to study when they themselves are shinning examples of success without a big degree or educational background.

[kadambari_ts]

Education includes teaching and learning specific skills. A person to be succesful in his/her career, education is also one of the pillar in achieving success.But one should have the skillset and smartness to attain that.

[prachee]

[akshay_khosla]

[akshay_khosla]

if you take the example of animation industry you work is the top most priority irrespective of the degree you hold you portfolio is what counts

[priyaa1]

educational background and talent& skillset is required for successful career

[Bhupesh]

Not necessary, but it will really help in some situation

[Jayita]

Its kinda not always da case , no doubts a sound education background is a must in today's competitive environment however v hv many ppl wid not da best of educational background yet doin far more better in their feild its dat street smartness tat really stands out at times! Education is not everythin... yet one of da essentials along wid smartness n personality & experience!

[kukrejanilesh]

[beone]

you don't have to have a strong educational background to be successfull. you have to be an entrepreneur to be successfull....

[ganguly111]
