At one time I considered education as the key to a better job. Most of my professors did not see it this way. They told me that an education was much more than that. Now as I grow older I realized they were right. And advanced education beyond your high school diploma is much more than a piece of paper. It is a lesson in how to think critically. It is learning to look for facts and to make decisions based on facts or truth not dogma. I learned my lessons well. What I learned that help me achieve many goals in my life. It has allowed me to face problems and thoughtfully find solutions. Education is very very valuable to any human being. If you want to succeed you have to learn. Things are not going to be handed to you. And if you want to have a sense of worth you must have the ability to do critical thinking. Get that education. Get that degree. Once you have mastered how to learn you will find your life much better.
