Education is very important in our life. An educated person is the one who knows a lot about many things. He always tries to learn, find out, and discover more about the world around him. Every time he tries to deepen and improve his knowledge. To make progress we should be hard-working and persistent people.
For educated people it is easier to stand up all difficulties and hardships and they have a purpose in life. Well-educated people can easily find a good job; they usually have a bright career. Besides, it is also much better to talk to educated, cultured and extraordinary people.
Many famous discoveries would have been impossible if people were not interested in learning something. Education develops different sides of human personality, reveals his or her abilities. Besides, it helps people to understand themselves, to choose the right way in this world. The civilized state differs from others in the fact that it pays much attention to the educational policy. John Kennedy said: "Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education". But it doesn't concern only one particular nation. We know that science and art belong to the whole world. So education brings people closer to each other, helps them to understand each other better.
But it’s important to take into consideration that nowadays it’s not enough to have secondary education, but to have at least a BA to get a well paid job. And we should try to make a right choice. Person’s choices depend not only on his or her personal like and dislikes, but also considering which profession will be in-demand in a few years’ time.
