The school talk will always be a controversial topic; people have different opinions when it comes to school and its benefits.

Someone who graduated and secured a well-paying job will never be among those saying school is a scam because that is what helped him in securing a good job.
The one who got picked out of a crowd at an interview because of his higher education will never join them to call school a scam.
When the set of people I mentioned above meets people who have been unlucky since they graduated from a higher institution and have already given up on securing a well-paying job and dumped their certificate to start their hustle afresh on the street by learning a vocation, there will always be a disagreement because they didn't share the same experience regarding school.
My dad called me last week, asking me to bring my certificate because the government wants to employ the indigenes of their town, and my response was that I don't need it. I said he should tell my sister instead, who was interested because she has been looking for a way to secure a government job... As for my own case, I can't leave my remote job to start doing Government work, The disadvantage is that I will have to leave the comfort of my house and return so late in the night, it will take my time and distract me from my online job, and lastly it can't pay me as much as I earn online, so it is like leaving the ocean because you got an offer to come and live in the river... My sister, who was not opportuned to work online, looks forward to getting it and I know it will benefit her a lot, so in this aspect school is not a scam because without her certificate, she won't even have the opportunity or chance to go for it, not yet certain that she will get the job but at least she was given the opportunity because of her certificate.

In my opinion, school is not a scam, but I don't believe it's worth investing huge amounts of money and resources into. I see no use for the program I am currently running, and in the end, the certificate might end up in my wardrobe like others. For an entrepreneur, a basic education - being able to read, write, speak, and calculate is enough. What truly drives success is dedication, enthusiasm, passion for learning, and the ability to solve problems.
Many successful businessmen and women out there only had a basic education, and they employ graduates to work for them. School doesn't define your success. I will admit it can be a catalyst that also speeds up the process, but most graduates depend so much on their certificate and refuse to see the light ahead of them... They prefer working for others with their certificate, forgetting they can also be their own boss, and of course, not everyone is destined to be a boss, but did you even try!.
Hive blockchain is a good example of where your level of education doesn't matter, as long as you are a good writer and people can learn something from your post, you are good to go, and many of us on Hive earn more than an offline job will pay a degree holder. Apart from education, have something to offer, and life will favour you.
Many successful business people didn't need advanced degrees, but they had vision and problem-solving skills, so it all depends on what path in life you are taking.
