What is purpose of education?

Question

What is purpose of education?

Answer 1

so adults don't act like kids

Answer 2

I used to work with a bunch high-school dropouts at a construction company several years ago and these "geniuses" actually believed that building was spelled BIDNIL, home: HUME, box: BAX, valve: VALVAL, concrete: CANCRETE, pipe: PIP, square: SKUAR, a SKUAR(square) has only one side to it, 8+7=17, 9*1=91, 4 feet 9 inches= 49 inches, and this is just the beginning of their "ism's" these idiots actually believed in. Unless, a person actually whats to get stuck working around a pack of brain-dead morons for the rest of their lives, an education is a must.

BTW, nothing is more embarrassing than having a Major General of the US Air Force, Two-Star General, coming up to you, while they are dressed in full uniform, and you get asked "How can you stand working with those loud mouth idiots?" It is embarrassing enough when you have a Full-Bird Colonal ask you this but when a Two-Star General ask you this than you start thinking "What would propective employers think of me if they saw me working with these sh*t for brains?" :-(

Without a proper education, doctors would not exist. So if you are in dire need of medical attention, you better pray for a miracle because without doctors their is little chance of surviving.

Answer 3

I wish I could tell you. I am high school graduated, college graduated, and retired army, and since I have been out of the army, my education has done me no good. The high school kids  and convicted felons are getting work as well as the bimbo with no brains but looks good in a low cut shirt and hardly any skirt.

Employers like to hire people with a name, status, or looks. Education is almost meaningless anymore.

Answer 4

To get an education means to have career opportunities open to you. Without some sort of education, the chances of being able to be successful in the first world (at least) are decreased. Many employers will not hire someone without a high school diploma, and the standards are only getting higher as far as university degrees.
