The Importance of Education

I´ve decided to write this article because I am totally amazed with the large number of people that don´t realize how important education is to our lives. While searching something on the internet, I´ve found a lot of topics on forums, started by people that were asking if education is important and if having a bachelor degree is worth the pain. Well people, you should know that the world we live in is constantly evolving and we really need a solid education upon which to base our skills and knowledge.

It´s true that in deciding to seek a graduate degree you are making a commitment of time and money, so it’s not a decision to be taken lightly. In fact it is a decision of huge importance in ones life. Earning a graduate degree will help you improve your career, as most careers nowadays require at least a Bachelor´s degree. Studies have shown that people with degrees earn more than those without. Also, have you ever noticed that the word ¨learn¨ contains the word ¨earn¨ in it? And we all know that money is one of the most important things in our life. Those with degrees are much more employable than those without them. If there was a time when companies used to employ people who had experience, nowadays employers search for people who have been highly educated. However, not all careers pay equally so you must think wisely when choosing a subject to study. However there are plenty of Universities (also abroad) that are likely to match your preferences. You could for example choose to study at one of the universities in Madrid. There are many places where you can find all the support you need and all the sources of knowledge that can help you build a career.

I strongly believe that education also brings a healthier lifestyle, as doctors recommend that people keep their brains challenged and active. It also brings confidence. At least personally, I feel that there is nothing like believing in yourself and this feeling can be achieved through only education.

By attending school, one´s able to learn from the academic and life experience of those around them, as well as knowledge passed from century to century. School also allows you to interact with other people, to refine your communication skills, and to find out more about different cultures and different places in the world. Education is the key that allows people to move up in the world, to seek better jobs, and especially to succeed in life. As education is so important, no one should be deprived of it, but, unfortunately, we have places in the world where not everyone has the opportunity to receive it.

These are only a few reasons of why education is important. I hope you´ve understood my point and that you agree with me. Good luck in your future educational endeavors!
