In a classic definition, Education is a process of learning what we do not know yet. In recent cases, it's a previlige rather an opportunity. If you don't have the money, chances are, you will end up as a Student Assistant, working students or if your interest fades away, high school diploma becomes your ammunition to get a job. But is it gonna be enough? Even a college graduate only receives a minimum wage and marrying out from that income is not a good choice. Unless though if you could speak good english and nail the callcenter career which in turn requires you to be nocturnal.
Individuality holds truth in everyone. If we choose to prosper financially, we can start a small business and sacrifice our wants then minimize our needs to grow the business. I've watch my own Aunt doing that. I could tell how much money she has now. But because she was too focus growing her fund and too restless monitoring her profit, her children are left out intellectually and who knows emotionally too. I would watch my cousins enjoying all the material things they posses and the comfort their house could offer. They don't even have to touch their fingernails on the sink to wash the dishes or do the laundry. That worries me but they're not my children so... what I'm saying is to receive an education is to unlock prosperity. But I believe one has to keep track of the life's balance beam. Since I don't have the skill to run a business, I believe my means of becoming financially stable is to finish graduate studies. Having these degree will mean receiving salary beyond the minimum. By then, may God help me with the balance beam I'm talking about. It's what I got from my parents and it's what I want to pass on to my children.
Cheers to this lovely Saturday! ♥
