why we spend our live on getting the education?

We learn from what we do so, in a way our life is a education that we learn something everyday. Our knowledge grows everyday and for that we need a basic education and let that be for the fundation. After that what is the use of going for futher studies wasting money and time, better do what we like and what we can to have a life.

Formal education - school, college imparts one with tools to better face life. I know that a lot of people start working early on in life, but then as you mentioned is by starting or joining their own business/family business. Those who already have the money can invest, if one doesn't have money, then that person has to start earning it first. Not everyone is fortunate to have a lot of wealth or inheritance. Education provides a yardstick to the employer to judge your abilities, whether you will be useful to the employer or not. Even if born wealthy, I think the aim of every human should be to increase and improve upon what has been handed down as a result of others efforts. Proper education gears you up to do that, to live life, to face it and the challenges it confronts you with. So I am sorry, but I have to disagree with you.

I do agree because I once knew of someone who spent 8 years at university and then he was hit by a bus and he is a disabled person from the neck down and it was most certainly a waste of effort on his part....life is so silly at times, we must just stop pretending to be clever and just be the stupid animals that we are supposed to be!!

LOL...it just so happen i read in the magazine today...forget who wrote it it said "Life itself is an education process"...well anyway...it might still important to finish High School...if you want to continue to get more degree that's really up to you. And i remembered i still have a good time in High School...
