Education is completely different from country to country. And as time shows that the initial level of education, this period from 7 years to 17 gives only general education, in no case related to professions. This is followed by several more years of study, which is a six-year period where a person must obtain a profession. Do all countries act this way? And with the very initial education, it is necessary to motivate and educate children to a correct understanding of life, namely, that nothing in the world will be given for free, and in order to make your life successful, you must study diligently and adhere to all moral principles.
A person who enters life with a higher education has a much better chance of getting a good job than someone who only went to school to pass the time.
It has always been. For the one who tries, his chances of success are much higher, and everything that a person receives from life is the fruit of his own hands.
You have definitely pointed out the virtue of education. People have today rubbish education because of lack of job but in all honesty education isn't just about acquisition of job but morals are also instilled into the educated ones and this (education) has help a great lot in curtailment of crimes carried out by youth in the society.
People also don't focus in getting good grades or graduating with flying colours anymore because of the trading stuff that you must know someone before getting a job. Oh yeah it is right but imagine the situation of helping someone that actually graduated with good grades and the near bottom fellows. I think the former will be easy to get help.
But another thing that affects people that attend schools they feel there certificate will grant them jobs when it is not coming they just sit back without looking for alternatives to cater for there needs. There are many skill acquisitions that one could get par school at least to stay on ones toe before regular jobs could come. There are notable successful business men today that have build up there businesses after fail to acquire jobs.
My point everyday is education is never a scam
You have a kind heart, believing in education is a means to being good no matter if it earns your an income or not. It was very noble but the reality is much harder than that. I can understand why someone may regret their choice of career or higher education. It was whatever the time you've spent give you something out of it. Some look for a nice job, an income, or a long ahead career,... Some are content with pursuing things like art study or even more abstract fields that may not be giving them the means to earn money right away. Some thought their time was wasted because their studies aren't applicable to any jobs out there or were not enough to meet employer/HR's requirements.
It means a lot of people will have a different take on it. I understand your point but if someone said their education is a scam or a waste, I think you can't dismiss it by saying all education is good. Human life is short, time is spent and wasted on many things and people want to get the best out of it cause they may have burdens on their shoulders. On how they have to find a means to support their family or even just themself.
