EDUCATION IS A BIG PRIORITY!
Don’t think just because we are experiencing an economic mess that education is out the door! No way! IF anything this is the time to work towards learning a new skill, learning technical information or educating yourself about starting a business. When jobs are less abundant than usual or their is a decrease in hours at work, this is the idea time to reinvent yourself. So when the job market gets better we are ready for bigger and better work opportunties and hopeful that the economy continue to grow upwards. Jobs from certain sectors will be created, infracture structure rebuilt and working morale renewed. Now, college graduates it may take more time than usual to find a job, don’t give up! Undergraduates keep on studying, reading and graduating because new jobs are coming alive and they are called green jobs. Vocational and trade schools are educational training grounds for students who believes a college education is not what they really want or need, but chooses to learn more about their line of work, therefore, we all understand that Education is a big priority!
I was in college when the world trade center was attacked, and one of my teachers told us that we were going to experience some hard times, but that we should go to school for as long as we can, and when we can’t go to school, we should work as hard as we can. For some reason those words touched my soul. It’s too bad that some people think that they can’t learn if they don’t have any money, because some of the most intelligent people that I know are self educated. They have a thirst for knowledge, and they aren’t ashamed to read and study anything that they want, with or without rewards.
Have a Great Day!
