Why do you go to school?

i go to school because i want to learn something that can't be taught by my parents... earning money is just a reward after finishing college...

For me one should go to school to have education that you will not learn outside the school, you should be educated so people will not cheat on you, dump you, and think low of you. If you will not go to school, how will you be able to read, write, count, pursue your course, study the profession you want to have when you grow? how can you have contribute to your country's economy? how can you have a comfortable life without education? There is a difference between finishing school before having a work and working even without completing one's studies. With the former, you can surely have a clear path to walk on, you know where you are going to, what kind of job will you be taking because you were educated of a job you dreamed of when you were just a kid while with the latter, although I also know people who did not finish school but does have a prosperous life right now, well, I guess that is another issue. They are pursuing a good life now because they worked very hard to be where they are now. For those who were not able to go to school and/or finish their studies and do have a good life today, I guess that is because they are industrious and persevering and lucky I guess. With the argument that you presented, if a person wants to live a comfortable life, I must say that education is not enough (although for me that is one of the major factors for one's success), one must be, as I have mentioned, industrious and persevering and of course, must have faith in God. One must be self-reliant and must be responsible for his/her own life so that even if he/she does not have a degree, he can have a good life. See? education is not all, a person's character is what really counts.
