Personally, I think your education gives you shoes to walk towards your career. When you earn a degree, you accomplish a big step. You gain knowledge, skills and experience to help you both in your career as well as in your general life. No doubt to achieve success hard work is must but without education, it will not yield any results.
Education reduces the challenges you will face in outside world. The more knowledge you gain the more opportunities broadens to allow you to achieve better possibilities in career and personal growth.
Thus your success doesn’t solely depend on your education; dedication and determination is also required. However, with education you can enhance productivity and complete a task better in comparison to an uneducated person.
