What's your opinion on higher education (18+yrs onward)?

Do you think that it's important to receive a higher education for a well paying job, or do you think it's unnecessary?

On top of that, do you think that the fees present for a higher education in countries like the UK / US are worth it, or do you think that they're too much when considering the fact that many higher education courses don't provide much of a path to employment?

 

Education is a necessity in today's' world period. It does not matter the cost compared to the UK. It would be nice to get a free education and a high paying job, but that takes some careful planning and networking all of which you can get in college. College gives you understanding, with a broad range of course in all the disciplines Math English, The Sciences Earth, Physical and well as Social and Psychological. College opens your mind to the things that you truly need, and they are options. College is a networking emporium of diverse minds and cultures, you get immersed and form kindships it is where you learn true socialization and become the true you.

I say this because when I was younger, I did not go to college right after high school, I waited for over 20 years. I went straight to work, to later find myself training fresh out of college graduates to manage me and other with no degrees.

I value my education. College graduates reside in a unique tribe- the Alumni something no one can take from you, you wholly earned it, with your own will, diligence, resilience, perseverance, ambition, determination, struggle, and drive. Because it takes all of that, and more to accomplish such a gratifying, and rewarding endeavor.

 

It is important to receive higher education for well paying jobs since most of the time is spent by the learner to acquire the job so he or she should enjoy the fruit of his or her work.In addition, the fees imposed on education in countries like UK is a result of the quality of education they offer plus the facilities.

 

I personally believe that education at all levels is important, more so higher education, especially if you followed your passion and you enhance it. Also it should not be mandatory rather it should optional and should be pursued voluntarily.

 

I believe it is important to pursue higher education in a good school. Education will not only give you knowledge in various disciplines, but it also help us to value our intellect, to explore, and share ideas with other students. This is a training ground, for us to be ready to face the reality of getting employed, or running your own business in the future. You also develop good relationships, which, I believe, is an investment. This is the beginning of your social network, which could help you in the future.

Whilst education in a good school is important, I also believe that skill development is important as well. In the reality of life, a very skillful person can go places. The more skills you have, and how good you are in that skill, the higher your value as an employee.

 

Although college or a four year degree may not be for everyone, I do think that additional education or training is valuable. In college there is a chance to learn about many things including yourself. You may or may not end up pursuing a degree in the area that you first intended. Or, you may learn that college is not for you. It's all a learning experience. If college is not for you, you may be better using your hands or you may be more technical or artistic. But you will learn in the long run, education or experience is needed. Why not start in higher education.

It's like they say, "If you think education is expensive, try ignorance".
