“Education is the movement from darkness to light.” –Allan Bloom

Lets start with a question; can education really make life better for everyone? Very much so- it not only effects your life in the present and future, but it will effect your kids & family life in the long run. Its common sense to know that the further you take your education, the more successful you can and will be in life.

When looking into the success rates of high school dropouts, high school graduates, and college graduates, you see the highest success rate in college grads– but this should be obvious, even without research. Even though money can cause a lot of problems it also solves a lot of problems- the opposite. Though High school graduates can find sustainable jobs and be successful , college grads will have the most choices in more than sustainable jobs, ultimately leading to a very comfortable life. 

Dropouts, and even high school grads can and most likely will find themselves stressing about paying bills, finding homes they can afford, and supporting a family or themselves. This is an easily shown example of how important education is for your future life. “The root cause of poverty is lack of education. If you can’t read or do basic math, if you can’t show up for work and apply yourself, you will not have a job.” (RBJ)  Knowing just whats presented here, why doesn’t society push education importance?
