Ok. So in my opinion… i feel that being educated is better than being rich because if you are educated…. Your character isn’t bad and is well mannered, people in society as a whole won’t look down on your attitude and judge you. Take for example… you just graduated from university and is going for an interview and during the interview… you rudely speak to your employer, of course the employer, being a human well feel that you are being disrespectful and hence will start judging you and then your dream career is gone down the drain. Another good thing about being educated is that you will socialise with people around you more easily and you and your character is gentle and friendly. Besides the character and attitude part or being educated… there is also the learning of knowledge part… learning is a lifelong activity as no matter wat age you are be it a baby or a senior… you will always learning something new… though somethings you learn in school is quite useless in the adult life, other things such as presentation skills will help you achieve your goals. On the other hand, some people might prefer to be born into a rich and wealthy family… inheriting their parents job or company position but in this world there are two sides… the good and the bad. There are good rich people with good character and sympathy such as Bill Gates who donates his money to charity but there are also other bad people who when they were young became spoiled children and was pampered a lot by their parents who barely gave any concern to their child’s attitude and character. Besides character again, being rich doesn’t necessarily mean you will learn lifelong skills which will help you in the adult life but might even drag you down and other people in society might see you as lazy and might even start a vote to make you lose you company position… hence the conclusion is that life isn’t just all about money, but its also about your character and attitude towards things in life.
Hope this helps :D

Educated is better. You can get good jobs with an education. Being rich wouldn’t help you, money can’t buy happiness.
