why is education so important in today job marketing?

Answer 1

if you prefer to listen to people who don't work at much of Job or who have never taught you do so at your peril. Education is the single thing that will keep us alive as a species when all else fails I am not talking about some pampered idiot who can barely spell and still graduated from High School I am talking about people who have the will to learn all they can about something and then apply that knowledge in the work force. People get jobs that they are not qualified for all of the time and they do okay with it but seldom excel with it. Being educated helps you in socialization skills and a 1000 other ways .....if you are even half awake in the classes that you take and not at some bar somewhere showing off your new prison tattoos. Get smart.... get a good education and actually make a contribution to this planet not just to you Swiss bank account and your credit card debt.

Answer 2

It's not, in fact some professionals are saying to scrap it all and start over. While being unignorant is important, education in the original context of having a degree is next to meaningless in a workforce that values hard work and independent work.

"proponents insist that in a world that increasingly rewards only highly skilled, creative workers - in which America spends the second highest amount on education of any industrialized nation but performs in the bottom part of the pack - reforms this drastic are necessary.

"I think we've tried to do what we can to improve American schools within the current context," says Jack Jennings, president of the Center on Education Policy, who says the commission has sparked an important debate. "Now we need to think much more daringly." "

Answer 3

actually that is not true.
For example, if you are from a third world country, and you have the money to study over seas. And you succeed and come back to your own country to work. The company will not be able to pay you the amount you are hoping to get, cuz you are too good for them. On the other hand, if you go over seas to work, they will degrade you just becuz they think "white" people are more successful then anybody else. I'm not racist but that is how alot people think like that. I dont think education is the most important for job marketing.... but expirience is much more important!

Answer 4

Employers want 2 things of their employees-
1. Problem-solving skills
2. Social skills

Employers can teach employees how to perform given tasks, the actual meat of the job. They need people who can think logically (critical thinking skills), and they need people who can get along with others. If we (schools) approach education with these 2 things in mind, we'll be providing a better education to our students.

In my own opinion though, we don't need a bunch of stupid gum-smackers with no social skills selling us things. Period.
