Why would you go on to a higher education institution?

In primary or elementary school, you are trained and taught HOW to learn. You start to understand how to organise yourself, how to take notes, how to persist when you make mistakes or cannot understand something, how to get on with others, what is really important in a lesson, and how to make decisions about what to learn for your life.
In high school or secondary school, you use this training to actually learn stuff you need to know to operate well in the working world. You learn to make suitable choices, how to decide what to remember, how to communicate with others in acceptable language, both written and spoken, and perhaps learn another language. You learn more than just basic stuff, and understand how to apply what you learn to practical outcomes.
In higher or tertiary education, you advance to the stage where you want to learn more than just the working elements of a subject and delve into the intricacies and the fine details. You start to think critically, to question what you study, and formulate your own opinions in a sensible way about the new stuff you encounter. You may also learn useful ways to show others what and how to learn, how to be persuasive and how to present arguements.
People who have only basic instruction cannot get high paying jobs that require good intellectual and practical skills.
People who have completed high school can do a bit better and get a job that requires a level of education to get them through complex tasks in their chosen field of endeavour.
People with a college or university degree can make good money at a professional level, thinking critically, managing others and progressing in ways they can handle on their own and in groups.
I hope this helps.

To provide, for those that are willing to actually work and learn, the students with a basic set of skills and knowledge that they can expand upon through either continued education or in the working world. Unfortunately, there are many who think it's a necessary evil rather than an opportunity that shouldn't be wasted. Even if college is not in the cards for people they should be paying attention in high school. Everyone needs to know how to read, write, do simple math, and communicate effectively; even those who plan a career at McDonalds. And most importantly...to learn how to spell torture!!!

A person would go onto get a degree from a university or technical school in order to build a career in a field which requires a degree.
Obviously, if you wanted to become a dentist, teacher, licensed mechanic, graphic designer, chef, nurse, attorney, or hairdresser you need a degree or certification.
The salary is usually commensurate with the education.
