Status difference: #School dropout# and #Post graduate#

Last week, I met one of my school friends who is less educated than me. Still, she owns a Mercedes while I am driving just an ordinary car.

To be precise, she is a school dropout and I am a post graduate.

Why so much difference in status?

I believe the time I invested in my studies is worthless. My friend used it productively and started earning early by starting her own business.

When I was busy doing graduation and post graduation she was learning the skills of business. Now, she has multiple businesses and proudly manages her employees. Sadly, I am working as an employee in spite of studying so much.

At the end of the day, who is the winner?
