Education and School...who needs them? More people than you may realize. We focus on this particular problem quite a bit on our math comic strips web site. In this article we would like to highlight a few points:
Knowledge is power, or so the saying goes. When you graduate from school, whether it be elementary, middle, high, college, or university, you are giving yourself power over your future. You have many more options in regards to what type of job you can hold, where you can live, and what $$$ you can make. Some jobs do provide "on the job" training, but most employers won't even consider your application if you don't have the minimum educational requirements.
A good education makes you a more resourceful human being. Nobody is so smart that they know everything about everything, but a good education gives you a foundation of solid principles that you will be able to apply to any situation you might encounter. Let's illustrate with an example. Suppose someone asks you what time it is? Suppose you have forgotten your own personal watch? If you have knowledge on how to tell time, you will be able to utilize this capability with any watch or clock that happens to be around you at the time. Yes, this is a very basic and trivial example, but it illustrated the point quite well.
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.
Understanding often goes "hand-in-hand" with a great education. Suppose you are on a trip to Europe, France to be more specific. You may never have been to France before, but by educating yourself and studying about this country while at home, you will have a deeper understanding of France, and the French, before you even set foot in Europe.
"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?
A well-rounded education makes you a more fun person to be around. No matter what topic someone happens to bring up at the dinner table, you will be able to intelligently jump in and offer your "2 cents worth". Suppose you meet someone at a party who tells you they are from a small country in the pacific. Suppose you reply that you have read a bit about his country of Fiji, and can offer some details on the climate and economy. Won't that be a great way to make a new friend?
These are just a few ways why education is important. There are a number of ways in which we can educate, such as math comic strips and math comic books to teach essential math skills to children, and we will deal with this issue in an upcoming article.
