Label called education

Have you ever realized that we actually study, I mean literally study, when we've already get off from education institution? That we actually learn something real, applicable when we're enter the world called the working world. If that so, what's the use of education anyway? Just ponder it for a moment folks.

When I graduated from my university 1 year ago, I asked myself, what have I got from my education? All those theories, curriculum, scores, does it really count in a working world? Will the theory I've learned could help me in solving problems at work?

I studied economic. After I graduated, to be honest I didn't feel I know that much about economics. Is this because I was too lazy to study? Well not really (self-defense :P). I think I was doing pretty good as a college student. I got great GPA, graduated on time while many others of my friends took a longer year. But after I entered the working world, I feel all the knowledge I got back on college did not really count. I had to learn from the beginning. Then again, I asked myself, What's the use of education?

I don't have any good great answer to that question. Or maybe you can answer that question for me? All I know and I believe for sure that education is important. It really is. As William Allin puts it "Education is not the anwer of all the question. Education is the means of the answer of all the question"
