why is education important?

Question

i need to do a public speech in my school. so it would be good if i have some good points. so i would appreciate if u put it in point form. and if u can include some famous peoples' quotes... well thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Education is about having choices. Without an education, my choices are really limited. There really aren't that many jobs that I can get, and if I lose my job, or my career becomes obsolete, I may not have skills to fall back on. Education means I can do jobs that don't require an education ... if I want to. There's no law that says a PhD can't wash dishes for a living if they want to. However, a PhD means that if I get tired of washing dishes, I have another career option.

Answer 2

Education - There is a big misconception that only if you have graduation degree or if you are a Doctor or a Software Eng you are educated.i am not a graduate yet i work for a leading firm here in the uae.Education is something that you learn both from books and outside the book.books only give you theoretical knowledge of a subject.Hey!But com on, you are not going use things like PMNO4 AND AMNO4 in your day to day life.What i am trying to tell you is - what you learn from your personal experiences is the real education as it mends and folds the way you live your life.In other words books give you the point wise format of doing something but then what you do otherwise with your life is from your own book.you write the rules and you are the sole follower of it.that's to me is Education.There are many big names that have only been educated through life's experience.they do not have a college degree yet they have made a name in this world.you don't have to be doctor to be number one.if you believe you are work for it you can be.you don't have to be world's number one but you can be number one in your way.

Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily; and why older persons, especially if vain or important, cannot learn at all.
* Thomas Szasz


Learning carries within itself certain dangers because out of necessity one has to learn from one's enemies.
