Why get an Education?
Education
allows a person to function better in our increasingly complex world. It gives
you the ability to
- Think logically and critically about events, beliefs,
values, and experiences,to ask relevant questions and make well-thought-out
decisions, to understand the importance of context (physical, biological,
social, historical) in evaluating information and ideas;
- Write well, which is necessary for communicating by
e-mail, preparing written proposals, expressing opinions etc;
- Communicate
orally, which is necessary for maintaining good interpersonal relations;
- Use computers effectively and efficiently;
- Work well with others, since education tends to show
you how others live and think and make it easier for you to see things through
their eyes;
- Locate
information on any given topic;
- Understand the limits and significance of your
knowledge;
- Examine problems
and develop creative solutions to them; and
- Manage time efficiently.
Taken together, these all increase your sense of personal
worth and accomplishment which makes you easier for others to deal with and, in
turn, makes it more likely you’ll have successful personal and professional
relationships.
