~*~ DOTM: Post Secondary ~*~

Hi guys welcome to the first Discussion of the month :) Depending on how things go we may even shorten it if we get enough response so please do respond😃 Your comments are very valuable😳

Great topic, JKu!

Secondary education is very, very important and should be compulsory. That's when you actually get to develop some skills and learn about what's really important. Sometimes it's just general studies too (As you get to narrow your focus in college) but it's really helpful to be a productive member of the society.

I wouldn't say you can't be successful if you haven't had a secondary education but I know some people who have been. But I think it adds on to your chances of being successful. Here in the US at least, for the most part your education and earnings are directly proportional.

If you have more education, you usually get more opportunities and more career options.

Illiteracy does carry social stigma, but I think it's very important to be literate. How would you know if someone's tricking you into believing something if you can't read? To a large extent, your ability to reading and writing is very important to understand the reality of the world. Otherwise you'll be relying on others to tell you the truth.

The whole point is that education may seem tough and exams and projects everyday exhausting. But you can either work hard now and get a good career and ease off then or slack now and then work hard in the future. The choice is all yours.
