How much education one should acquire?
Everyone has to acquire education for one's growth and making a career. Depending on the interest and the inclination, one pursues a particular stream or course if one is able to get admission in that as most of the coveted courses require the students to qualify in some competitive examination.Most of the students after completing their educational ambitions search for a job for making a career. Some are successful in getting good jobs while many others have to satisfy with the mediocre jobs. Some students try their luck in business or self employment opportunities and make a career like that.
Every student cannot do excellent in academics and everyone cannot get a good job. So a question arises why every student should go for higher education and go for relentless pursuit of academics? Would it not be better to acquire some basic qualifications and then switch to self employment or business or some trade or mediocre job instead of wasting additional 4 to 6 years in acquiring higher education?
