The biggest misfortune in a one's life is that one does nor receive a university education. Needless to say, a university degree often helps a person achieve his goal with more ease. However, do we attend university just in pursuit of a degree?
As far as I am concerned, we enjoy a university education in the following aspects which attributes us to a university education:
Firstly, with the we will knowledge learned in a university, we will have a deep understanding with our society. It is true that genuine knowledge comes from practice, but it cannot be denied that genuine knowledge, tells us hot to practice. A through study in a college or university, of course, enable us to realize how the society works and how to cope with certain problems arising from it in a more efficiently, more skillful way.
Second, a university education usually makes it possible that we acquire a decent job. Because of an accomplishment of a four-year study, it is not difficult for us to find a good job in most cases. How can we imagine that a graduate majoring in astronomy has to be a vendor in the street! Undoubtedly, he/she should sit in his/her laboratory, making a research on aircraft on a computer. Obviously, a university education assures him/her a decent job.
Last, but not the least, we can help others much better if putting what we learn in a university into use. A university education corrects our values, enhance our skills, and broad our horizons. With those, we are capable of giving a hand to those who are in need of help than before.
"Knowledge is power". When achieving a degree in a university, we can get a better understanding of the society, find a decent job in an easy way, and help others better. All of those are due to the knowledge learned in a university.
