It is. It helps when people aren't ignorant when it comes to issues. A lot of hatred comes from stupid people who don't know shit. Alot of people dismiss Evolution and believe only what the Bible says. Education is the key to success in life and decision making. The more educated you are, the more understanding you can be.
well, education to a cetain extent is a must.
though i sometimes i wonder if it is a kind of mass brainwashing.
on religion, education, abortion, gay issue ect. it's totally polarised. it depend on which part of the world u're from, therefor what kind of education u're given. from american south, you take one view, north-east state like NY another. or more religious contry like Italy Vs more liberal country, say Sweden
through out history it had always been this way, but it's still scary.

I say no. Lots of people become highly successful (and rich) without ever finishing school.
The point is that these poeple are very few, and the best way to improve your chances of being successful is to study hard and gain qualifications. End of.
Still you can make it big in he media (movies/music and so forth) without even having a degree or a diploma.
There are also quite a lot of positions (in belgium atleast) for which ppl are appointed by other people without needing qualifications, doesn't happen tho but in theory it is possible.

Making it big in movies and music is more reliant on raw talent and dumb luck. But how good can you be if you've never taken any acting/music courses? Eventually you'll need some sort of education in that field, even if it's not necessarily a college degree.
It'd be hard to be an uneducated politician, I would think...though I will concede that it is possible.
