Is Education Important to you?

Education is important for us all. It seems to be a decisive means to get out of poverty. For whatever cost, as long as the children are qualified, they should be sent to higher school. Some would give up for financial reasons, but parents had better try to pursuade them to keep on. The expenditure is sure to be paid back. Otherwise, the children might be struggling whole life in job hunting, and unstable employment. This is true especially in times of difficulty.

Education to me is one of the most important things in life that man should accomplish. It is not only to get a good paying job, but also it will shape us into a person that is most acceptable to God and to the society. Education influences our decisions in life, tests our character and makes us human. I couldn't imagine how chaotic our society would be if we remain uneducated. In the society I am into, not everyone is blessed to acquire education due to poverty. Most of them live even poorer than there parents, and they are gradually multiplying due to early marriages even if they are still unemployed and homeless of their own. They have become the liabilities of the society. To me, one best tool to attain a peaceful society is to educate the person, and the rest will follow. Thank you. Happy mylotting!

'm one of the others. No education, but, in spite of it,managed to make it into retirement better off (I think) than many with an education. Completed grammar school, and one year of high school. Quit in my Sophomore year. Joined the US Navy at 17 years of age, took a High School GED exam while enlisted and passed it. Was told I'd have to wait to receive my GED diploma. Couldn't be given to me until the year I would have graduated from High School had I attended. Left the military after four years. Worked so many kinds of menial jobs I can't remember them all. I sometimes think what happened to me was simply my fate. It was simply meant to be. I think I was just meant to be uneducated. Even to this day, I still make decisions by gut feeling. Retired at age 61.5 (am now 66). I live off my pension and have a couple of hundred dollars left over each month. I seldom see a need to spend the extra money although sometimes I do (for something special). I'm debt free and my situation is such that although I qualify for Social Security benefits, I don't need them, so I haven't applied for them. I plan to do so at age 70 (4 years away) at which time the benefits will be 31.5 percent greater than they would be if I took them at normal retirement age. I can't mathematically show for sure that my decision about Social Security Benefits is the best one for me, but a gut feeling tells me it's the way I should go. Although I'm currently lacking in education, I could get an education now, and most likely a free education because I'm now a senior citizen. But my gut feeling right now is not to get involved in that. Maybe later. You know, as something to do to keep me busy. I certainly don't need it for a career. (My work life is over--no more of that for me.) And speaking of careers. I noticed that you have plans for law school. That's fine, but let me give you some advice. Try to avoid stress. It's a killer from what I've heard. Good luck to you. Hope you're life is filled with endless happiness. Oops. Initially forgot to respond to the second part of your question. My parents (actually step parents) were both uneducated. In spite of this, my step dad was the only one employed. My step mom didn't work. They nonetheless managed to make ends meet and to be viewed as average income earners without a need for assistance. Looking back on my childhood, I think my step dad was somewhat anti-education. He used to refer to the educated higher ups as pencil pushers. I'm not anti-education. I think it's extremely valuable, but I know you can still make it without it. Not having an education is not an excuse for being a loser. You still have a brain. Looking back on my work life, I think most of my acquaintances thought I was college educated (like them) but I was actually a high school dropout. For some reason, none of my peers ever asked me about my level of education. Sometimes I used to humorously think of putting hsD at the end of my name much like some people have phD next to their name. The hs would stand for high school, and the D would stand for dropout. But I never did that. I think education makes people more aware and less likely to be duped, but a lack of it doesn't necessarily leave you totally vulnerable. You still learn through observation, and you develop a keen sense about people that I think serves to protect you from those who would do you harm.

Yes,education is very important for me.Yes,as you said that we need it to get job or to educating our kids.We need it to better life.The more important is want to know and learn more.Because there is no limit for learn.
