getting a higher education gives a person a more advance learning and help a person to choose a better career and high paying jobs. But most of all. higher education helps a person become a better person through education.

It really depends on the kind of job you want. As far as factory type work, more education will not make much difference. He would probably need some college to get a job other than blue collar.

sometimes i think the higher eduction is useless but sometimes it's necessary because if you are looking for jobs, the employers always wanted to look at your certificates and diplomas, so that is a gate for you to find a job, but not an everlasting gate for you to enter and not going out. so it depends on your ability.

I will agree with you there none of my sons had got a high school dipolma and my youngest went to 12th grade but never graduted and there all have nice paying jobs it is nice to be able to say that you have a collage education and sure that is something to be proud of but I think it is useless as you said thank you for your responce

well of coarse it does help to get a higher paying job but there are also some people who has a natural ability to do a certain work that gets them a high pay and thank God for that other wise most of us would be doomed as far as living a decent happy life is concerned
