How Important i think education is..
Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
Oscar Wilde
I believe education is very important and with that being said i am speaking of all aspects of education, not just what is leaned out of a text book or sitting in a classroom. Education in my eyes consists of everyday living, relationships, love, parenting, friendships, you're consisting learning and those are the lessons that are needed to live life. Those are the lessons you can not learn in a room reading a book. However i do see the importance of formal education; especially in my generation and today's society you need formal education to do just about anything, most jobs if no all are looking for something with a degree of some sort. I think both formal and informal education go hand in hand to live life.

You are so right, education is more than what you learn in school, it is a part of every day living, unfortunately the in order to move ahead and today's society, you have to have that paper behind you, not just your bachelors, but your masters and/or MBA to move up in the ranks. So glad you know the importance of continuing your education.
I had to do an essay on this very subject my Junior year for my English class. My response was very much the same as yours. You need a great amount of both formal education and life expierence to get through life. A formal education is great, but can only get you so far without any common sense. And no matter how much life expierence or common sense you have, great opportunities are taken away from you because of the lack of a formal education.
