Higher education?
As I am graduating really soon, thoughts of what university means began to emerge in my mind. Why do we go for higher education? Is it really for the pursue of knowledge?
Ironically, the answer is no. Perhaps ten years ago, individuals would enter the program because they wanted to learn. Today, as I watch many students simply studying just to get a passing grade, I realized how much the situation had changed. Most of these students are here, in this overpriced education facility, for a "ticket", one they supposing-ly leads to a better pay, brighter future (How many times have we heard that?). But how true is this?
In my opinion, it had indeed became a necessity to find a good career, but it does not mean that you will have a bad future without it. One can still do well, even when lacking of "book-smart" skills. I feel that college education is just a certificate, a prove that "yes, I can study", pointless in real life... Ok, perhaps not pointless... But, slightly redundant...? Afterall, what that is going to take you through, is what you can learn at work and how street-smart are you.
However, it is needless to say, just my point of view. What do you think?
