The Benefits of Going to School

Many young people see going to school as a chore and only go because they
absolutely have to, while some will even skip school because they see it as boring and
unnecessary. However, going to school is incredibly important for your career, future
education you may wish to pursue, and social and communication skills. Teenagers are
forever being told that they need a good education so that their can have the career
they want, but many do not listen. However, it is important to remember that your
schooling, no matter how long it may feel, lasts for a just a few short years compared to
the rest of your life ahead of you. Therefore, it is better to sacrifice a little bit of fun now
so that you can find happiness in later life, as you will be happier if you can do a job
that you enjoy and afford to do the things you want.
Integrally linked to your career is the fact that you will only be able to achieve a
higher level of education later on if you work hard in school now. Although at the age of
fourteen and fifteen many young people may not think they want to go to college or
university, you don’t know how this may change as you get older. And with
unemployment among young people in the USA at its highest since the early 1960’s,
you may find that you need a college degree to secure a good job because there is so
much competition for so few jobs. Many people also decide that they want to study
further when they get a bit older, perhaps after they have got married and had
children, sometimes because they want a career change as they are not happy,
or just to prove to themselves and others that they can do it. Those that don’t succeed
in compulsory education will not have the opportunity to even start many courses
because there will be plenty of better-qualified candidates that also want a place.
Finally, school is the place where you learn a great deal of very important life
skills. From communicating and empathizing with people of both genders and different
ages, to listening to instructions and following orders, and developing leadership skills.
It is not a coincidence that there is a negative correlation between criminal offences and
level of education, in all races, ages and genders all over the world, and one of the main
reasons for this is that the lessons that are learnt in school are so much more than just
academic. So, although most of us only consider our career when we think about what
school may do for us, the life skills we learn are equally important
