This is one of the major dream destroyer because when you are planning to do something or undertake a project the thought may quietly occur to you in your mind that you do not have the paper qualification to undertake the project or one of your friends, family members or even your spouse may remind you that you lack what it takes to make success of such project. Please, take note that I am not advocating that you should not go to school, all that I am saying and pointing your attention to is that education is not limited to the four walls of the classroom or lecture theatre.
As a matter of fact, one could say with little degree of error, that formal education is inversely proportional to material riches. For example, most of the rich men in the whole world are of average learning in terms of classroom education but they are men of vast experience and are well trained and their learning is on continuous basis.
You will notice that some of the most successful journalist did not study journalism in the real sense of it and some of the best actors did not study theatre art in school. Never allow lack of formal education to rob you of your dream.
Of course you can go ahead and acquire any degree at any age in life if you think that it is absolutely necessary for what you want and if it will make you to feel fulfilled.
