You can t get anywhere without it . The competition is great and you MUST be able to compete. In my insignificant opinion, this is only part of the answer. I think there is one more important.
Education can be one of the greatest experiences one can give to themselves.
It allows you to put you mind and spirit in a realm that sees the world past your won limits. It allows you to hear the news of happenings around the world and have an understanding of your own . It allows you to determine the importance rather than relying on the newscaster. It allows you to willingly see the world with curiosity, wonder, and endless possibilities. Formal education is one way to obtain some these fruits, but not the only way.
