Education is something everyone needs. It allows you to see your strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes and anything you learn will help you in the future. There are also many ways to gain an education, on the job training, university, trade school, tech school, internships with organizations or companies. Currently there are also many opportunities online. Whatever you learn will be a blessing in your life if you allow it to be. So seek education and knowledge in everything you do. Always want to know why and how, it really can make your life full of fun in learning. Finally, question all the answers and make sure they are true. Education isn't something you do for a few years, it is something you do every day!!!

Learning never stops, especially not when you finish formal schooling. Finishing high school is only the beginning. Try to get as much formal learning as you can afford to and/or are able to do. Having some college credits, even a 2-year degree after high school, is helpful for the job market - if you are not ready for the 4-year college experience. Eventually, having a 4-year degree, generally speaking, helps you advance in larger companies.
Being an entrepreneur is possible with or without formal schooling, but entrepreneurs are committed learners on their own - they'd have to be to succeed.
Do understand that you can learn lots of other places besides college! You can learn on the job. Take advantage of any and all learning opportunities offered through your work/career/company. Be curious, ask questions, observe and try new things for yourself! And -- READ as much as you can -- books, newspapers (on and offline), magazines, blogs/journals, instruction manuals, websites, etc..!! You can also learn at home via many free and paid online course platforms, such as Coursera and Udemy, just to name two.

*Also know that formal schooling can happen at any age, when you are ready! I got my Master's in my late 40s!! I think I was a much better graduate student then, than I would've been in my mid-20s! I have several friends who finished their BA degrees in their 30s and 40s.
Commit to becoming a lifelong learner. Anyone can do it! education

Hi Hannah,
When I was young, I thought education was a requirement for being an adult. It was a series of stages that I have to go through for a while, as if you clear the level 1 (elementary school) you go to the level 2 (middle school). I did not think it was something fun or exciting, but it always felt like something that I have to do to be a better person.
After I chose my major in college, I realized education is not just a requirement, but it can also be an opportunity and a turning point. There were companies that would like a person who is specialized in my major and I was able to have some work experience with my degree.
Now I think education can also become an inspiration. Learning something new can be a new energy in your life and it will make you a specialist in the professional field. So why education? Because it will help you connect the dots in your life and grow your career in the future. You will find your own meaning of education and I believe it will have a great impact for you.
