Do you see the success in your life being due to your hard work and talent or luck?

Study hard and do a useful degree like Medicine or Engineering that require intelligence and hard work. Do not waste your time on worthless easy degrees like Art, Science or Business degree. You are better off doing a Trade than wasting your time on a worthless easy degree.

That is too simplistic, and not true everywhere.

For instance here in Luxembourg, if you got an Business or science degree, you're off to a good start. Engineering though, not so much in most cases. Medicine? A General Practitioner will have a good living, a surgeon a truly great wage, but it's all for noting (it's the job with the longest workdays and -weeks by far; basically perpetual crunchtime and thus no time for family, friends or whatever else you normally got in life), and, as a nurse, you'll be overworked and underpaid.
