Topic: From Bill Gates' dropout, can we tell that college education means nothing to one's success?

Pros: college education helps little in achieving one's success.

According to Bill Gates' experience, we find that making knowledge utilized to make a difference in the reality is more important for being successful compared with having a well-rounded but not necessarily well-qualified education process. This statement is made simply because we don't judge personal success depending on one's final results and credit reports, but one's ability of getting problems done and making oneself known. To be more precise , better social status can only be gained when you're highly qualified in social performance rather than academic performance.

Undeniably , we become a rational thinker when we have been studying in the school yard. However, no one at all can say it for sure that a rational thinker can make a success. Actually, that's way far from being well-known. Statistics suggests that successful celebrities in all existence should have several elements as follows:

1. The ability of transferring theoretical concepts into practical basis.

2. The ability of good decision-making when the future outlook is uncertain.

3. Personal charisma such as being graceful, well-mannered, self-confident, etc.

All those things mentioned above are not really achieved from the education process but from the society.

To sum up , we believe the current college education system can hardly lead to students' success in the coming future.

Cons: college education helps a lot to one's success

Although it is true that Bill Gates has gotten great achievement not only in respect of the richest ones but also in terms of the focus of the public after he dropped out from college. But it doesn't mean college education doesn't work on his success. Instead , he had learned the knowledge of computer when he was in high school and more importantly, he tried to build up a complex operating system when he was in college. So we find that it is the college education that provided Bill Gates the opportunity to have a dream and the opportunity of trying to realize it. I think I needn't try to emphasize the importance of this at all.

The reasons why we can not ignore the effect of college education are as follows:

1. The college education provides a relatively more focused education service on the field where you are aiming to, dreaming at or interested in, which is needed to have further achievements.

2. The college education offers a diverse but generally helpful atmosphere of learning and using knowledge, leading to a healthy up growing of personal prospects.

3. The college education tends to be more socialized in order to help students to get social abilities.

So to sum up, we firmly believe that college education is essential in becoming a successful person.
