Hugh Jackman was quoted in RD about education. He says, "education is the antidote to insecurity." hehe :) How is that??? Education for me is really important especially if you live in a developing country where jobs are limited and you have to compete inorder to get one. Also, there are companies who prefer educational attainment than "skills."

yes your right. We people should have educational attainment st least secondary for us to have a better future. But for me, if ill have more money, ill study and study. Because money can stole from you but the education you attained, No! =) Thank you for your response.

For me, education is very very important. Through education, not only can we gain the social behavior knowledge, but also the academic expectation itself. Through education we learn how to appreciate other, consciously or not. And through education we learn about the course that might be very useful to be applied in this very world. That's why I really really appreciate education and take it seriously.

For me education is very important indeed. I have so very much enjoyed learning about subjects that interest me like literature, history, religion, foreign languages and travel. I have studied for the General Certificate of Education, Business Tech, A Levels, a Degree and a Diploma. I have got Qualified Teacher Status. I have studied Travel and Tourism. The last course I studied was Level 1 Spanish Language. I often read books and think education is knowledge as well as enjoyable.

Different may have different ideas when it comes to the meaning of education. Without education, we may be still rude, foolish, have no the ability to finish our jobs, etc. We can't enjoy a better life and even survive in such a society full of competition. But sometimes, Education is just a waste of money for not all people are used to spend so much time studying. From where I stand, high degree can help me to get a better job and education makes me wiser although sometimes it is just a waste of time for me.

I think it's essential to be educated, in this country especially. With all of the competing careers and jobs now, one must seek higher education to have a solid ground, it seems like. Although, higher education does not always work out for everyone. I know people with college degrees that are not taking advantage of it and have low-paying jobs while other people with just high school diplomas are making their way to the top in management positions in businesses. Again, it really depends on the person and how hard-working they are.

Hi Ayebelle, Education is very important in this advanced society.Without higher education, a person might be out-dated and can't get a better job for better prospect. For me, at least a diploma is necessary for someone to have a better future. I myself is a university graduated.I am majoring in Banking and Finance. I used to work in a bank for a couple of years before I settled down. I really hope I can go back to the workforce life again after my son has grown up and sent to school.
