“The principal goal of education is to create men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply of repeating what other generations have done.” – Jean Piaget

Education is one of the best investments you can make in your future. The more knowledge you have, the better decisions you can make.

Many people choose to go to college in order to get a degree in a field that they like and/or feel like they could make a living at.

Benefits of a college degree:

  • Very attractive to potential employers.
  • You can start at a higher salary than without a college degree.
  • A good foundation in business principles that can be used in a variety of professions.
  • Access to the most current technological advancements and resources.

“There are millions of children today who don’t attend school. However, education is the only way to get ahead in this country.” – Azim Premji

Education is most commonly referred to as formal instruction used to impart knowledge.

Instead of focusing on the formal instruction aspects of education, we would like to direct your attention towards the obtaining of knowledge.

There are other ways to obtain knowledge other than going to college. Some of these have even greater advantages than getting a college degree.

Examples:

  • A certification (ie. IT or Auto Mechanic)
  • Trade / Technical school
  • Cosmetology / Barber License
  • Apprenticeship (ie. Plumbing, Electrical)
