Education *something*

Is education really important?

YES IT DOES

And I'm going to write about my dad's childhood.
And since he said it so many times, how could i forget.
Let me think.How was it again?Oh yeah~

My dad didnt reach secondary level! why? bcause he's bad in studies and his family then wasnt very wealthy.He left school because he doesn't want to waste those 'hard-earned-money' on his studies and he got 4 siblings to take care of. (people in the old days tend to have more children than they could afford). Well, in such a young age, he doesn't lay around eating and sleeping. since he left school, he went to work. helping out with his family, selling stuffs around, working here and there trying to get more money for the family.(i don't think child labour is against the law in 1950s)I don't know whether his parents worked or not but what i know is,in my opinion, he had a 'adult' chilhood. And i'm proud of him because he thinks and cares for others.He has one BIG, RED HEART.

The point is, even though he didn't get enough education, now in 2008, he still has a two storey house and enough cash to go on. he didnt become very poor and could still get a few thousand bucks for his mother every year. And Why is that? Because he's willing to learn and hardworking. he learn and work for decades and now, he doesn't have to worry about financial matters.

But that was in the OLD DAYS!

Now,
Dad: "You got to have some good certificates to get good jobs so study for your future."

Yeap that's my dad.

Education now is so important that jobs everywhere will look at your certificates and your grades. See how nice they are and would think about it. Higher education, Higher salary.

And that is the reality.

So how could education IS not important?
