Education is very important for building a career. When you apply for a job, you have to give them your resume, where you need to show your educational background. You need a degree in a specific area to get a job in that sector. For example, if you want to get a job in a bank, you need a degree in Business, Investment and Finance. If you don't have higher education, or have just basic education, you will end up doing a low-paying jobs like being a watchman or a dishwasher.
