Why study in high school is not applicable and practical to working life?

Answer 1

on the contrary, it's exactly like working life. You have to wake up every morning nice and early, you in some cases may put on your school uniform just like you would a suit for work, you sit in a boring stuffy classroom for hours just like an office, you fill in endless amounts of pointless paper work, the work is repetitive and uninteresting, and the system rewards those that are reliable, disciplined and have no imagination or creativity, just like at work, the only difference is that you get paid for working, but education costs you money. But you must accept that as the division of labor begins at school level, it might be helpful to you in later life to do welll, so you have more freedom of choice, otherwise you'll end up stuck with a crayppy manual thing for the rest of your life - meaning that when your body breaks, which it will, you will have NO SAVINGS, and NO WAY OF SUPPORTING YOURSELF.

Answer 2

High School isn't, per se, but going to college and getting a degree absolutely is. . .so you have to get good grades in HS first.

Right out of high school, you can make a few thousand doing somthing manual, like construction, and in 10 years, you will only be making slightly more than when you started, and your body will be beat up for it.

BUT, go to college for four years, get a degree, and come out making ok money, and six years later, when you are out of HS for that same 10 years, you will be making bankroll, have cool toys and go cool places. . .the lifestyle advantages kick in later, and they are soooooo different. Your life is open, your options are open with a college degree. . .

PLUS, the fun of college, the things you learn and people you meet - you change, learn new things, understand life better, grow up a little. . .it's a great experience.

Get through HS - just kick butt there and do your best not for now so that you can go to college. The effort is for a few years from now. It's so hard to think that way, I know, but you will thank yourself for going through the trouble! It's all about that degree!

Answer 3

You study in high school to get good grades, so you can get into a good college, so you can get a degree and get a good job.

College graduates make so much more money than high school drop/flunk outs.

Also, some of what you study in high school is very applicable, and helps make you a well rounded person who can carry on an intelligent conversation.

Answer 4

Well, for one thing, I think writing skills are very applicable to working life, and yours could use a little work, with the way this question is phrased.
If all you plan to do is have some sort of job that is simply a repetitive type of task requiring little thought or education, fine. But if you aspire to more that that, you'll need a general educational background, you'll need to know how to think, to do it well.

Answer 5

studying teaches responsibility which is applicable and practical in working life.

Answer 6

Because the more you learn, the farther you get in life. Knowledge is power, and you Will use what you glean in highschool at some point, or miss what you didn't learn.

Take it from those beyond HS

Answer 7

High school give you the theoretical knowledge to ensure you can one day apply it to practical tasks. It's worth it, you'll realize soon enough.

Answer 8

It's the path of least resistance.

How can you go to college, -which is ALMOST relevant to the real world, - unless you first jump thru the HS hoops??

Are you gonna invent something else that HS?? good luck, - you'll have to fight the NEA!!
