I have come to know that in life, nothing is a waste, everything acquired in one way or the other has it own importance and areas where they prove very useful ....
You might not know its usefulness now but it will surely prove useful in the nearest future and that is quite certain...
This is quite certain and i am sure that not everyone can deny the fact that education hasn't impacted a lot in their lives, though in this modern age, not everyone who is educated have the best life and even after graduation nothing is certain and that is why they think education is a scam....
I have seen on different ocassions where a person graduates with a first class in studying BIOCHEMISTRY and end up becoming a TEACHER, becoming a teacher is not a crime even if he didn't end up becoming what he wants, he was still able to make a living off his education...
I am going to go straight to the point, to me i can boldly say that education isn't a scam but a means of growing all round...
EDUCATION IS NOT A SCAM....
In this modern age, parents are advised to make sure their kids learn a trade of any kind due to any mistake in the future, why did they still allow their kids study if it isn't important, communication will be effective because of education...
Education is now belittled by most people in the country, majority of the public thinks that because they have studied and graduated, life will become easy and job will find them without hardwork...
Education is means to be well off in the future, when you are equipped with enough knowledge , every little idea will be utilized wisely, there will be effective decision made regarding crucial decisions, no knowledge is a waste...
Education is best utilized when you combine it with hand work or trade, when you are educated, everything you do will be different from that of an illiterate, there will much difference in what an educated man and uneducated man does...
For example, when an uneducated person goes into selling foods like garri(cassava flour), sugar and groundnut, an educated man can make profit by the process of PACKAGING AND REBRANDING, he will make his own to have the three in a place with an extra touch...
It will be in form of GARRI MIX(the name we call it in nigeria), garri, sugar , groundnut and milk will be in a place, it will be in a different compactment but it will be together, it will save both time and energy of buying them in different locations....
Example 2, Instead of craving bean buns(Akara) which takes time and energy combined with different resources to make locally, you can just eat bean buns chips(akara chips), it is the modernized packaging of locally made bean bun(akara) which is more pleasant and attractive to the eye compared to the local style...
The examples above where able to make sales because of the knowledge derived from education and that was how they were able to make profit from the ignorance of others...
Even if the educated and uneducated man sells the same product, the man with education will surely make more because whatever idea the uneducated man uses, he will repackage and rebrand the same product to suit the taste of the public....
In summary, education is very important if you want to go far in life, don't just depend on education but use it as means of making it in life with a back up plan beside which is a trade that goes along with it..
In conclusion, drop that idea that when you are educated you will be rich, every rich man today made lots of sacrifices to get where they are, so education is not a scam, it comes handy in one way or the other...
NB: THE GARRI MIX AND AKARA CHIPS IS A PRODUCT IN MY
COUNTRY AND IT IS THANKS TO EDUCATION THIS DISCOVERY WAS
MADE...
