  Better education = Higher minimum pay.
  Better education != Higher maximum earning.
  
  Someone with low education, he can earn alot doing business or something, he can earn alot, but if there's some problem he cant do it anymore, cant use the experience to find related job, then he will get a very low pay job bcos he dont have a decent cert.
  
  For someone with high education, he can do biz, if he also face a problem and cant do the biz anymore, he can at least use his cert to get a job with better salary than the guy with low education.

  Better future..to a certain extent. Depends if what u are studying is relevant to your work. In the end, it's still the paywise.

  So can I say that better future is to earn more money? Or what?
  How about the education wise? How does the education level or standard here compared to the other countries?

  You're saying someone strike toto, so if you buy toto, you'll strike too... You can't use something that has an extremely rare possibility of happening to be an example lah, not fair rite, it doesn't paint an accurate picture.
  
  I think education is an investment, it is a decent investment but say if you spent $200k all your life on studies and in the end you worked like shit and earned back only $180k, then you're losing money, so education is not good. If you earned back $800k, then who can say the money you spent on education is not good?
  
  So if some people say education is good, they have their reasons, if some people say education is bad, they are thinking differently, but both of them might be correct in their own way.
