I agree completely with this. At the end of the day, it's about happiness and making a positive impact on the lives of others.

Totoo rin na hindi ka yayaman as an employee, at least not here. You can be comfortable (have a house, a few cars, send kids to good schools, etc). But you won't be ostentatiously rich. Look at all the expensive villages in the country. A vast majority of those who reside in these places are businessmen, not corporate executives.

With that said though, going corporate is still a good phase to go through, even just for a while. Which is why it helps to invest in good education - to best equip you for the corporate world. From thereon, you should maximize the experience and life learning, which will benefit you whether you decide to climb the corporate ladder or pave a path of your own as a businessman or whatever calling you may choose.

Unfortunately, this entire discussion digresses from the main point of the thread - if a good school matters.
