Education can open doors to new opportunities and career advancement but also comes with risks of debt if not carefully considered. A quality education can help students become positive contributors to the workforce and inspire others, but graduating with large debts may make it difficult to focus on career skills. It is important for students to research their desired career path and determine the necessary educational requirements to save money and build a successful career. While education can help improve self-esteem and life circumstances, the risks of debt should be weighed against availability of jobs in that field to prepare graduates for the current job market.

Education
Why should we have education? Is it even worth the work in getting a quality education?
There are so many answers to these general questions. Among the American population, we are
divided when the subject of education is discussed. Education is the key too many in improving
lifestyles are making future goal of living a life of comfort and other great possibilities. The
subject of education may have positive pathways to a solid financial future and in some cases can
cause unwarranted debts. Sometimes a quality education may come with an unexpected amount
of debt.
A quality education can be a stepping-stone in preparing the student to become a positive
contributing citizen by incorporating high influence individuals to the workforce. This may
cause others to follow in the student footprints. Most Americans at this time are so over
whelmed with debts. When a student is so barbed down with debts, it may be hard for the
student to concentrate on subject matter that may not pertain to the present job skill. Most of the
students may benefit from having a short-term college diploma or no college at all.
Most students at this time in life’s history may choose work related study or on the job training
because of not having to pay a big Sallie Mae, Freddie Mac, or huge interest bank loans. It is
important to know the goals of the student because most careers may just cause for a high school
diploma and a couple of years of experience. For example, A medical assistant career, in order to
take the challenge boards to become license only requires 3 years of experience and a signature
from the employer verifying experience. In most cases, most students will spend more than
$30,000.00 for a two-year degree in medical assistant and may not find a job after graduation.
In America, the economy is always looking for qualified professionals but are there any jobs to
go around? I believe that if we as educators look at the growing trend of qualified graduates
versus the jobs that are available, then we can better prepare the graduates for a better outlook.
Education can turn either way towards the door of opportunity or to the door of debts. It is best
to assess the career field of choice and find out the education requirement for that career. The
career of choice may not require a 4-year college degree rather it could be a diploma or a two-
year degree. It is best to do research on every career to save money and build a rich career of
success.
In some cases of economic status, education can be a way out of a bad neighborhood, out of
present debt due to a promotion on the job, or just a satisfaction of a long-term goal. These are
all reason for most students wanting to attend school. Most students feel that it could be a
sufficient way of improving self-esteem and accomplishment. To me it is important to
encourage the student to follow their dreams of success and education accomplishments.

Students need that reformation from their professors because encouraging the student to go
higher will bring change to their overall grade point average, self-esteem, and their personal
interaction with other peers by encouraging college attendance. Education can be the key to a
comfortable career. The job market at this time is looking slim because of the present economy.
The economy can change good to bad overnight in a snap. Therefore, it is best to prepare
yourself for the better and not the worse. The better is gaining a college degree in field of study
and making the choice to fine-tune your craft (study). Students like myself, love our fields but
hate the present job. By gaining a degree in the field of natural health, medicine, nursing, or
other allied health fields will further the career path to better employment, better pay, and better
working hours.
In conclusion, It is always good to check with the government bureau of statics on job related
task such as future salary, training and development, career demand, and the total focus of the
job. It is good also to get word of mouth feedback from other people in the field of study. The
quality of education can become a challenge for a student that has been out of school for so long
but it can be worth the debt and or time. Education can be the key to new opportunities for
success and promotion in the student present career. Take care and be in good health.
