Is education necessary to be qualified for a job?

Is school and college necessary to be able to make living?

Yes

No

Some. A person needs to be able to read, write and at least do simple arithmetic. Not everyone is college material, and some are better suited for trades (and some pay darn good wages). Without at least some education and training, people limit themselves to unskilled jobs and low pay.

Minimum education yes. A degree? Not always.

[Flatmanlewis]

Yes and no. Yes, you need some basic level of understanding for ANY desirable job. Read. Write. Math. Computer skills. So on.


Does one need any college or advanced degrees? Not necessarily. There are plenty of occupations or non-collegiate careers that pay well over $100K a year. Airline pilots, paramedics, some law enforcement, many contractors, salesmen, and so on. Many of them need certifications which are not necessarily college degrees (even if sometimes obtained on college campuses). Yet other professions such as a doctor, attorney, and so on may have an absolute requirement for college as a requirement. Tit really just depends.

Some kind of basic education is needed for most jobs. You need to be able to read and write and do basic math. Many jobs require specialized training. Most technical and medical careers will require you to have some form of training. It does not necessarily have to be a college degree.

The difference between theory and practice is always smaller in theory than it is in practice.

In reality it's usually unnecessary but many jobs require it anyway.

[Jazzy54]

For most occupations, yes.

[boobliker]

No, but it showes you are able to learn

[BLP11520]
