It is a choice to improve your mind and your skills. Any program, no matter the length or the focus, is an opportunity to set and strive for goals. Education is what you make of it. (Internet)EDUCATION

Education gives you tools for lifelong learning.You learn facts while you are in school, but more importantly, you learn how to think. While some of the facts and figures you learn today may not apply to the world of tomorrow, your ability to think will be useful always, in everything you do.

Education improves your quality of life.Income and employment get a boost from education. The Digest of Education Statistics 1996 reports that income levels rise as educational levels rise. Figure 1-1 shows average income levels for different levels of educational attainment. Figure 1-2, also from a report in the Digest, shows how unemployment rates decrease as educational levels rise.

Education improves your employability and earning potential.Learning additional skills raises your competency so you can fulfill the requirements of higher-level jobs. In addition, having a college degree makes an impression on potential employers and makes you eligible for higher-salaried positions.

Education makes you a well-rounded person.As it widens your under- standing about what is possible in the world, education increases your awareness and appreciation of areas that affect and enrich human lives, such as music, art, literature, science, politics, and economics.

Education affects both community involvement and personal health.Education helps to prepare individuals for community activism by helping them understand political, economic, and social conditions. Education also increases knowledge about health behaviors and preventive care. The more education you have, the more likely you are to practice healthy habits in your daily life and to make informed decisions.

Education expands your self-concept.As you rise to the challenges of education, you will discover that your capacity for knowledge and personal growth is greater than you imagined. As your abilities grow, so do opportunities to learn and do more in class, on the job, and in your community.

Education enlarges your possibilities.Education gives you a base of choices and increased power, as shown in Figure 1-3. First, through different courses of study, it introduces you to more choices of career and life goals. Second, through the training you receive, it gives you more power to achieve the goals you choose. For example, while taking a writing class, you may learn about careers in journalism. This experience may lead you to take a class in journalistic writing that teaches you about reporting. Down the road, you may decide to work on a newspaper and to make journalism your career. Looking back, you realize that two classes you took in college changed the course of your life.
