Joe, I dispute this because there are too many people whose education limits their choices. Most people that are unemployed are so because they are looking for work in their field of study. Where a person with less education, is less likely to put limits on what type of employment they seek. Side: No
Most people that are unemployed are so because they are looking for work in their field of study. I must dispute this because it is statistically false. Most people that are unemployed don't have a field of study. Lower education = Higher unemployment http://urbanexus.files.wordpress.com/ Side: yes

Of course, everything is depends on person! And understanding of meaning "successful and happy life" for every man is different! However, education gives us an oppoutunity to have reasonable idea of "successful and happy life". Also education gives us knowledges that we can use to make our lives better. Side: yes
I agree with you, YnSoo, that everything is depend on a person. There are some people who have not a good education, however they are happy. In my opninion it's the people who have inherit richness of their parents, and they do not need in a good education. Would you ask yourself "What for I try to have a good education?". A lot of people answer that "If I'll have a good education, I can find well-paid job, and everything will be ok". it's people who think that happiness is depend on money. Yes, I totally agree that happiness is depend on money, because we are living in 21st century, where we are nothing without money. And I think that in order to have money, we need to get a good eduction. Side: yes
"Successful and happy life" it is maybe one of the very attractive side of getting education. But one more very important and valuable thing is statement of person as an individual. This point largely means happy and successful life. But from the material point of view having good education gives more opportunities to reach a good life. Of course, if person use this opportunity right. Side: yes

Answer: It really depends on the person themselves and their perception of what is "happy" and "successful." We live in a century now that we need some form of education to work and EARN money. Can you earn money by doing absolutely nothing? Sure but that is rare. And that is why that this debate really depends on the person themselves and their perception. So i can go infinite routes with this debate. There is no right answer. Side: yes

A happy life does not have one important element. It is a balance of interests. Where material accumulation may sometimes benefit in the short run they will strip you of your identity and confuse you in the long run. A good education is one of the way to get successful in our life. Side: yes

it really depends on what the person appreciates as well as on the conception of "happy life". some people may say that if a student doesn't have good grades, he is likely to be an unemployed person in the future. but, in my opinion, it doesn't matter where and how you studied. all depends on your ambitions, plans. you can be a very good businessman even without a diploma. also, for some people "happy life" doesn't mean just achievement of materialistic things. that's why we can't say that people can live a happy llife just because of a good education Side: No
Of course, you can be a good businessman without diploma. But It will be more dificult to get a job without it. Also without education you will not have enough knowledges to be succesfull businessman. And even if you have a will power and ambitions it is very little to the success. Side: yes
Good education is the way of getting well-paid job, that's why I think that only 30% of our success depends on our education. And other 70% is about our personal skills, hard-working people will be successful even if they don't have very good education. I know lots of people who didn't have enough education, but they are so successful because of their own character and personal skills. Side: No

I totally agree with other arguments... No , good education doesn't is it necessary to lead a happy and successful life. In my opinion a success and happy life depends on oneself and environment .Also , good education doesn't determines a bright future as the individual may have other interest which isn't associated with education. I think family, temperament and determination are some of the other factors which determines successful and happy life. Side: No

“Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.” Calvin Coolidge Side: No
