Poor sims and education

[Indipuk 0]

As far as I understand every city/region needs sizeable population of poor sims. Even the richest CO/CS builings offer jobs for poor sims. So here is the question. Is it even worth to invest in education of poor districts? Can uneducated 1xsimeleon sims work in 3xsimeleon CO of hitech builings?  Or does they require basic elemetary school eduaction at least.

I always educate sims as it brings in I-HT and CO$$$ so its worth it, it just depends what city type you are doing.

To elaborate on the OP, educating your sims will generally increase your demand for high-tech industry and commerical offices. It also has a strong effect on the demand for middle and wealthy citizens in your cities, also helping to increase land value - a cyclical development.

I'm not truly sure whether education promotes the class of your sims, but I have seen some of the sims you put into your city go from poor to rich over the course of a city.

In short, education is an essential part of a city if you wish to encourage high wealth and high taxes. If you are trying to make a dirty industry, poor or slum-like city it is usually best avoided.

Any more questions, fire away.
