The Importance of Education
Why do we say that everyone must obtain an education to be successful in life? This is one of many questions that people ask about education. Some people ask: what does acquiring an education do for someone that just wants to go to work after he or she finishes high school? He or she may think that it is possible just to graduate from high school and start working. Well it is possible, in some occupations but for those people who want to have a large amount of money and have the best job, well they need an education. I will talk about many reasons that an education is important and many things that will affect his or her life

People that have an education make more money than those people who do not have an education. It is often possible that someone that does not have an education can be making more than someone that does. I know someone that owns his own business because he took it over when he was young and he does not have any education, and he is making more than my aunt who has an education. This does not always happen and for the most part everyone in this world should get an education. In some jobs you are paid by your education. Like teachers can get paid up to almost $30 dollars an hour if they have a master’s degree. Sometimes it does depend on what district and school you are teaching in.
There are more advantages to having an education than there are in failing to have an education. My advice to everyone is that you go out and get an education because it will be worth it in the end. I know that for a while everyone was saying that as long as you have a high school diploma you can make the money you want, that is not true. We should know that is not true because to make the money a doctor makes you have to have an education to be a doctor to make the same money as he or she does. We should also know that we cannot make money and keep a job without having the best education there is possible. I have a chart that will show some of the advantages to having an education and the disadvantages to failing to
Everyone has a different view of what education is and to get education. Education is key to being successful later in life. People who are educated get employment opportunities and get a high paying job. If, you are not educated than you are likely to get a job that neither pay you minimum wage or not. Before, we can get a job without having an education or any skills and education was expensive. Nowadays, everything is changing from getting a job to going to college to getting education. Now in order to get a job, we need to have a degree or skills and education is expensive that not everyone can afford. I here at CSU Stanislaus to have a great career and to make a future for better living for me and my family. My family and I come from low- income family. For me, it is important to get
We are told to “go to college” by family, media, and teachers, but we are never given an explanation on why it’s important for us to get a higher education. The importance of higher education is so we can obtain a career that can support our needs and wants. It’s also important because it gives you an advantage when trying to get a job. Employers require a higher form of education, which is necessary for our society to advance. There aren’t many jobs that accept people with a high school diploma as their highest form of education. Employers want people that know what they’re doing, and so does our society. In order for people to go into the career field they want, they need to go to college to learn everything that comes with that career.
For as long as I could remember, my whole family would constantly tell me how important education is. Every day my father would say that if I wanted a stable life and a well-paying job that I needed to stay in school and go to college unless I wanted to be flipping burgers for the rest of my life. Even now that I am in college, I am still being reminded how education can take you anywhere. College can open many doors for people that want a better life and a well-paying job. Obtaining a college degree can benefit someone in the long run and also prepare them for the real world.
Through personal experience I have learned that an education does truly help you succeed in life. Growing up I have had a good education system and been able to push myself to learn. However, I have met some people who have not been as lucky as me. Around eight years ago, I was twelve years
The topic of this essay is the necessity of postsecondary education. Robert Perry begins his argument by presenting an opposing argument from author Charles Murray. Perry then points out what is wrong with Murray’s argument, and presents an alternative idea. Perry is arguing that there needs to be more colleges, universities, and community colleges to offer Americans the opportunity to receive a higher education, because people with a post secondary education are in high demand.
Every person has his or her idea of what education should be. One wants to be educated or go to universities so he or she could have a higher degree. Some other person wants to get education just to fulfill one's self. Many people get college education thinking that they can make more money. Education is not about money; it is a lifetime process that enables one to satisfy one's inner self. It makes a person feel good for who they are inside.
I also believe that an education is very good to have but not all that society makes it out to be. I feel that a person should have a good education so that can open up his mind and give him something to persuade in his future. If a person is educated that can really have an advantage in the “real world” today. Society looks very highly on a person with a good education, but this is where I disagree with society. Since society looks so highly on education, the people that may have a natural talent or trait may never get a chance to peruse a good career. The job market will always look at the person that has a schooling background and never at that other person that does not have a good education. Even if that person with the education may not be the best person to hire for the benefit of the company but the company will still hire him because of his education background.
A job is a job. But each job wants their employees to do some type of work. Employees get paid for what they know what to do at their job. According to U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) in their article, “Education pays: More education leads to higher earning, lower unemployment”, the more education one gets, the more money they earn. But they also said that one can get a good job and earn good money with the skills they have. This means, education is important but one needs the right education for a certain job.
“And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it.” (Barack Obama) College is needed for many careers, whether you want to be a doctor, teacher, or vet, it will be required to obtain a college education. College has many benefits in the long run, from earning more money, increased job security, better health and much more. Going to college opens up a door of endless possibilities, which is why everyone should go to college.
This paper evaluates the benefits of obtaining a higher education. There are many advantages to obtaining a college degree that can benefit the overall wellbeing of an individual. Society will also benefit as a whole due to the nature of one’s intelligence within a community. As for the human race knowledge is power, and power can do great things.

Education in Vietnam I feel like it focus about theory more than practical and education in Vietnam have 9 subject and when the test coming is really stressful to study 9 subject and it more difficult each year . But education in America is more practical and more effective. Student in America just study 4 or 5 subject and student can focus more about each subject when school have test, quiz, ...

In almost every culture and in all parts of the world, getting an education is valuable to a person’s future. But what is it that makes education so valuable? What is the purpose of an education starting from the early stages of a child’s development into adolescents, and from adolescents into adulthood?
Education is one of the most essential necessities of a personal life because without education, we would not have a brighter future. In two essays “Learning to Read and Write” and “A Homemade Education”, Malcolm and Douglass describe what they have gone through in order to become more successful in their pursuits in life. While Malcolm X lived part of his life in prison, he spent his time writing numerous definitions from a dictionary amongst the walls and tables. The elements of the dictionary motivated him to not only become a free man, but a well educated one at that. Douglass, who also taught himself, began his life in slavery. But after a series of attempts, he escapes from slavery and pursues into his
