The common misconception perpetuated by parents, teachers, and society about the significance of degrees can lead individuals to face challenges in the real world. Merely holding a degree does not guarantee financial success unless one is pursuing a career like medicine with substantial earning potential. Many professionals, including lawyers, chiropractors, and dentists, often struggle financially as they lack the business acumen required to run a successful practice. Simply being skilled in their field is only half the battle; the other half is managing the business effectively. Even those who do achieve a comfortable income find that it may not be sufficient, emphasizing that financial success is not solely dependent on academic qualifications but also on business acumen.
