उत्तर
In Favor -
A professional degree is undeniably crucial for attaining success in life. While exceptions exist, the majority of individuals without inherited wealth or businesses rely on the knowledge and skills acquired through formal education. Specialized knowledge and skills obtained from higher education institutions are essential, evident in the high demand for programs like MBA.
In a globalized world, higher degrees equip individuals to meet global standards and compete effectively in the job market. Resumes without impressive qualifications often face rejection, and qualifications are a key criterion for selection. Professions such as doctors, engineers, and teachers heavily depend on qualifications, and high-standard tertiary education enriches individuals with both knowledge and practical skills.
The practical application of theories learned in prestigious institutions enhances productivity, value for companies, and societal respect. Higher qualifications also contribute to career stability, making life more secure. Additionally, advanced technologies in various fields require mastery, and certificates from universities and high-level training grounds serve as tickets to career advancement.
Against -
While a college degree is essential in many professions, it is not the sole determinant of success. Business acumen, interpersonal skills, market insight, and foresight are critical for success, especially in fields like entrepreneurship. Examples like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs demonstrate that innovative thinking and perseverance can lead to success without traditional degrees.
Similarly, icons like Sachin Tendulkar, Lata Mangeshkar, and Amitabh Bachchan achieved greatness in sports and entertainment through talent and hard work, not advanced degrees. In politics, statesmen may lack formal degrees but possess wisdom and political flair.
Social and emotional intelligence, along with life skills, are increasingly recognized as vital for success, and multinational companies value candidates with high levels of social intelligence. While specific professions may require degrees, success often hinges on a combination of skills, talent, and dedication.

Have you are wondered why soldiers are always clad in green? This is to enable them to camouflage themselves during wartime. Hiding in the jungles, their green attire blends into the surrounding trees and shrubs, making it difficult for the enemies to spot them.
Long before man-made use of camouflaging, insects have already adopted the tactic of disguise to escape from the clutches of their predators. By having body colour close to those of the rocks and dried leaves, they can escape from being pursued by the predators.
Butterflies and moths have developed a variety of camouflage strategies since they are quite defenceless and their predators are abundant. Possessing wings which resemble dried leaves help certain butterflies and moths to hide among heaps of dried leaves when predators are around.
Fortunately, not all insects choose the art of disguise to escape from their predators; otherwise, the world would be so dull and colourless. There are insects which assimilate the bright body colours of bees and wasps to escape from being pursued by their predator. Long ago, birds have already learnt to avoid brilliantly coloured wasps and bees in fear of their painful stings. Hence, over millions of years, many harmless insects have assimilated the bees and wasps by imitating. their bright body colours and shapes. In this way, they appear dangerous and hence ward them off.
The beefy, not only appears like the bumblebee in terms of body colour, even its hums sound similar too. The only difference is that the beefy does not have a stirring and is hence harmless. The hoverfly is another insect which imitates. the body colours of the wasps. Their bodies are striped yellow and black. The only deviations are that hoverflies do not have stings, and they have only one pair of wings each while wasps have two pairs each. These variations are hardly noticed by the predators and hence help them to escape.
