Do you know why an education is important? We deal with this issue quite a bit on our math comic strips web site. In this article we are going to point out some reasons why you should get a good education.
Many might not know this, but a good education equips us with power. Graduating from the various steps in the school ladder (i.e.: elementary school, middle school, high school, college and university, etc. gives you power and flexibility over your future life. It's true that some jobs provide "on the job" training, but these positions are becoming fewer and fewer as we embrace a world of globalization. Keep in mind that many employers won't even consider you if you don't have the minimum educational requirements.
Resourceful human beings are people who have a good grasp of knowledge and education. None of us know everything about everything, but a well-rounded education equips us with a background that we will be able to employ in any situation that we find ourselves in. Let's illustrate this point with a little example. Suppose you know how to tell time. You acquired this knowledge and education at some point, and have been successfully able to tell time on your own personal watch. Let's suppose you left your watch at home. What do you do now? Well, this education helps you to be resourceful, and you will be able to tell time on any watch or clock that you find around you at the time. This is a very basic example, but you get the point...
A well-rounded education also provides you with a greater quality of life. When the economy starts to turn sour, many people get laid off. It's often those who lack in education or skills who get laid off first. Worse still, since they have less education, they will have a harder time finding a new position.
A well-rounded education also provides you with understanding. Say you are going on a trip to Asia, China to be more specific. You may never have gone to China before, but by studying and educating yourself about this country before you go, you will have a greater understanding of China, and the Chinese, before you even set foot in the country.
"Birds of a feather flock together", or so the saying goes. Have you ever heard the term "networking", in a social setting that is? It basically means meeting people to serve a common goal. Networking often goes hand-in-hand with a good education, as it means you will be able to "flock" with other "birds" who share your goals and ideals. Who knows what jobs might come out of these encounters?
Aren't people with a good education more fun to be around? They seem to have knowledge on almost any subject, and can keep a conversation rolling along. Armed with a good education, if someone happens to bring up an obscure topic at the dinner table, you will be able to join in and give your opinion. Wouldn't it be great to be able to educate others and make new acquaintances and friends in this way? I think so...
In conclusion, these are just a few reasons why we think education is important. On our math comic strips web site we focus primarily on teaching math skills to children via comic books. If you are interested in learning more about this fascinating subject, please visit us on our web site. - 30301
