People who keep telling that education is a waste of time and money should understand some key factors, that help you grow.
1. Your good education (degrees from recognized institutes) will help you land in a good job headstart. You don't have to go through the pains and sufferings standing in a the open market with a file carrying resumes and wait for chances. But then, once you are in, your hardwork and attitude takes you forward and education would remain backseat. Most freshers from good colleges, realise this only after having spent about 1-2 years of corporate life.
2. Good education will inevitably help you find good matches in your family circles. Believe me it works. Our elder generation is not so updated about the economy trends and would prefer to marry off their daughters to well educated guy, no matter how he performs at work.
3. Good education (esp school education) gives you excellent communcation skills, which are the most important skills (both oral and written) to gain promotion and salary hikes and would largely compensate for your technical inadequacies. A well structured and error-free email can make a tremendous impact on your personality, whereas poor communication skills would ruin you apart once you take up managerial roles.
4. Good education gives you a high confidence level to make a headstart to your career. Other colleagues start respecting you instantly and chances of you getting challenging assignm

Karunan's advice is better and more practical. You are only talking about degrees and big thing without the human factor and this article is mostly about the actual work and Job.
Education in school does not teach how to become human and be a satisfied person.

Agreed Boss. But Education in school teaches you the fighting spirit, 'survivial of the fittest' and be disciplined. It doesn't teach Office Politics, or shortcuts. Its only when one enters corporate world, he/she learns to deal with them.
I was only pinpointing the advantanges of a good education to those who think, education is a waste to corporate success.
A time pass article which appears to have been authored by the writer as a matter of pastime,but never worth being thrusted on the readers of rediff.Rediff appears struggling to feed its readers & hence appears to have adopted as time gap stuff of this sort.But let it it not tax the brain of the reader by such useless articles.

You need not tell me.If some one says a particular music is not pleasing,that does not mean that he should sing & demonstrate.
