I would say LEARNING is important if one has to be sucessful in career.
let's replace 'educational' with the word 'LEARNING'.
Learning includes everything !!!

 

[sony2007]

You need educational background but also a fire in the belly to have a vision and achieve it. without this vision education won't help you.

 

[shwethaganesh]

yes educational background is also required but more than that personal experience and skills are needed.. both are required for a successful career..

 

[wonsteffi]

yes it's necessary in the first few years of working. but it's not that important once you fill your CV with other work experience.

Hey,

A person may have the passion, confidence and zeal to do the job but he is sitting ducks if he does not know what to do and how to go about it. Education in that field allows for that.

Consider the Dhirubhais and the Bill Gates' who have been cited by many – the fact you will see that they themselves may not have been educated but they have definitely sent their children to the top institutes for getting the necessary education and “degrees”. If education did not have a value or was irrelevant in the performance of the individual why did they send their kids to study when they themselves are shinning examples of success without a big degree or educational background.
