What kind of value do you attach to your education?

Question

A higher education leads to a better, knowledgable person. It also defines a good career from a bad career. A high scool drop out will, for example, work at a pizza franchise. He wont recieve much on a yearly basis. Someone with a high school dimploma will achieve a greater education plus a higher salary. What kind of value do you attack to your education?

Answer 1

i dont think its fair to say a high school drop out will work at a pizza place. Some people drop out because they have good jobs lined up, and their time is better spent earning money than in a class room. It depends on the person.
I want to stay at school and go to uni because the career i have chosen requires UNI. if i wanted to be a hairdresser than i probably would dropout and get an apprenticeship.

Answer 2

A very high value. I feel you if don't want to expand your education that you will be left in the dark as so many other people are. Everyone wants to have the better things in life. You can't really experience that fully if you're a high school drop out. Of course material things aren't everything. But having a better understanding of the world and being better educated should be. You should what to be smarter. Knowledge is key!

Answer 3

I am proud of my mind and education. I now place a high value on the education of my children. I do not believe it has to be about how one makes a living, just how one utilizes their mind.

Answer 4

Very good value because without it I would have many disadvantages.

Answer 5

Books or OJT
