What Is An Education For??

Right… So that’s the question that i am going to answer today. Almost everyone under the education system has been brain washed and psycho-ed to study hard, get a good grade and eventually get a stable job and earn a good income. Then life will be good. So they studied hard, real hard and worked for another 30-40 years getting a pay increment of $200-$300 every year and are damn happy when they get promoted, added an additional $500-$1000 to their monthly income and managed to climb up the corporate ladder.

What have the education system done to all my friends? Who are struggling hard to do well in school, to get the so called first class honours only to have an additional starting pay of $200. ( This is for fresh grad in accountancy. Graduates get around $2,400 whereas first class get around $2,600) Why are they trying so hard just for $200 more every month? I cant blame them. Thats the way we are brought up in this society. When you have no money or career, people judge you by your results.

I have 8 good reasons why the education we are receiving in school is completely useless and why we shouldn’t strive so hard just to work and earn money for people.

1. 99% of what you are studying is outdated and not longer used in the real world. I suppose once the textbook is even printed, almost 70% of what’s inside is no longer in use. That’s how fast things are changing.
2. Working for people and making people richer is a no go. Why do you want to even work for people and help them get richer? Who are they to you? Why not use the 8 hours you have everyday and do something for yourself?
3. Can you imagine how your life will be when you work? Waking up at 7am everyday for the next 40 years? oh on… how can anyone think about this and still want to get a job? Oh no oh no… What are these people even thinking?
4. You get only 21 days of annual leave every year. You are a bird trapped in a cage! Why do you need laws and rules to decide how many days you can rest? Why do you need your boss to decide whether you can rest or not? Get real. You do not need anyone to tell you that. You control your life. Not your boss!!
5. You can please your boss like crazy and don’t get a pay rise at all. That’s the cruel reality of life.
6. What the company pays you is only about 10% of what you have earned for the company. Does anyone even know that? Why not work for yourself and get 100% of whatever you have earned all to yourself? Okie, maybe some to your mom and dad for supporting you.
7. You’ll never get rich exchanging time for money. How much time do you have to exchange it for money? We all have limited time that we can work. So why limit how much money you can get by exchanging time for money? People say the sky’s the limit. But for people working, your time is the limit.
8. Everyone wants to be a millionaire. Let’s calculate how you can become one by working. Let say you get a really good job and earns about $10,000 a month. That’s a lot isn’t it? To become a millionaire, you have to save ALL of your money for 100 months. That’s approximately 8 years+ So how can you become a millionaire? Find something to do that earns you more then $10,000 every month!
