"A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education he may steal the whole railroad." 1.
--Theodore Roosevelt.
For an individual to receive a satisfying future, a good education is required. As stated above by Theodore Roosevelt, an education can fortify ones chances for success. An education is one of the most important tools the human mind possesses. The correct implementation of this tool is one of the greatest ways of assuring the quality of life for an individual. The advantages that an education provides are invaluable. School is a significant outlet which lays the building blocks for a prosperous future. There have been instances where an education was not needed to thrive, these cases are very rare and only happen to the most unique of people. An example is LeBron James. He has astonishingly entered the NBA straight from high school without any post secondary education. He is not planning to purse further education, and has a 10 year 90 million dollar contract with Nike. Although this rare case may seem to have a tremendous outlook, most people still do require a good solid education to rely on if things do not work out as they wish them to. A good education is crucial for your future, as it allows receiving a job with a high rank, stay current with new technology and attain an acceptable rate of pay.
In today's society, most people are looking for positions of employment where they hold a position of high rank. There have been some instances where they have received these positions through networking or inside connections. Nevertheless, this type of situation is very uncommon. People, who have an adequate level of education, have the skills needed to hold a position, which demands skills such as, leadership and responsibility. These are the most fundamental skills which an individual builds during there time of receiving an education.
