I worked my way thru college, and my college degree was more about self-actualization and opening my mind to new ideas, than it was about getting a job.  It's not as hard to get a degree now, compared to when my father was in college.  Back then, education meant something more.  I was trying to have the same intellectual experience he did, and I think I succeeded.  I have a BA in Political Science, and have been disabled/unemployed for 5 yrs now.  Before that, I worked for Home Depot as a special services associate.  It had nothing to do with my degree, but I was still able to think about people in a way that I never would have, had I stopped after high school...

Understand one thing about a degree, employeers are not really concerned about the field of study, unless it is education, nursing, or social services field.  To most employeers the degree simple identifies that you are able and willing to start and finish something, which says a lot in todays society, so go get a job doing something that you enjoy.  Go into law enforcment, become a teacher with a lateral entry possition.  Have fun and make money

Really, it depends on the pupil. \n\nHomeschooling provides more of a one on one education. Special needs can be paid closer attention to or help in a particular area can be attended. However home schooled students tend to lack social experience and a large cultural variety of peers. The student also misses out on opportunities such as student government, sports, or clubs.\n\nPublic school provides a variety of subjects and usually teaches them fairly well, in my experience. However class sizes tend to be larger and sometimes struggling students are over looked. Students usually have opportunities to take classes based on interests and their grades. There is usually a variety of culture at public schools and a large student body with peers. Socially, public school students blossom.\n\nPrivate school students usually receive excellent educations as the subjects tend to be slightly more advanced. Class sizes are usually smaller meaning struggling students get more help. Private schools tend to have better extracurriculars, because of tuition money. However, the student body may be limited and lacking in diversity. Often students who board at their school can receive a taste for college life and be more prepared than other students.

Learning to ask for help is one of the most useful things you can do for yourself, its not easy to ask for help but the teachers are happy to know you care about your education enough to step outside what is comfortable and ask.  You cant do it all alone.\nJust ask.

Depends on how you define education. Unfortunately, many people do just give up. One more reason we need to overhaul the education system in this country!

An undergraduate education is when you go to college and earn a Bachelor's degree.  (either a BA or a BS).  Take me for instance.  In three weeks I will graduate from college.  I will be getting a BA in History.  My undergraduate education is now finished.  \n\nJust so you know; a GRADUATE educations is when you study to receive graduate level degrees.  Such as a Master's Degree or a PhD.\n\nhope that helps.

understanding who you are in terms of your beliefs and personal philosophy of life, your life path (i.e. career), your relationships and sexuality, your transitions (the temporal dimension of self), and what you leave behind for future generations. recognizing the unity of these different aspects of self. understanding what you are and what you are not. I think meaning is something that we construct - what I've listed are different ways we can create or discover meaning in our sense of self in relation to the world.

Ahhh.  A question.  That means you desire information you do not have.  Reading these answers will provide you with some information and, by definition, you are being educated.  The more educated you become, the more you discover what you don't know.  The best formal education teaches you enough general information to allow you to determine what you really want to learn about.\n\nKeep asking questions.

Your means are sufficient for providing for your basic human needs.  However, the cost of higher education, and all the ancillary expenses associated with the fulfillment of your education, exceed your current financial means. \n\nHence, the reason you seek to better yourself and the world around you, by improving your future earnings capabilities.

I always get this from my parents.  more especially to people who are not educated, they would tell how important school is for you and for your future, asking yourself some were given oportunities but they never use it.  My parents are highly educated, but I am far away from them I don't  like studying I am more into Music and Drama, but they want me to be a medical doctor or lawyer but I am not interested.  But any way what your parents are saying it is very important find something that you like to study something that you will enjoy

Contributions to university life would be something like this:\n\nYou bring a wealth of personal experience to the campus and student life by bringing some of my own personal values and beleifs into the Institution.  Examples of this include, my ideas on education and the value of learning in general.  The importance of sharing knowledge with staff and students alike and contributing some of my own beleifs to a wider audience who may benefit from what I know and possess as knowledge.\n\nI welcome the criticism that I equally reflect value-judgement as to ascertain clarity of idea, how ideas are expressed and formulated and summised.  This is important for mental development as well as student maturity to which I intend to partake in active disscussion and share with others, possibilities and concepts in broader depth.\n\nAs a member of this community, I represent, an individual identity whoes capabilities are recognized on their own merits, though being part of a community, I am interacting with external as well as internal institutional beleifs and values, that I incorporate into my own independant thinking.  It is vital that I demonstrate and reflect respect for the diversity of both cultural as well as individual beleifs even if from time to time, these may conflict with my own.  However, it is my quest to endevour to be recipient and impartial to others so that mutual respect can be administered even if not agreed.\n\nMy time as a student on campus is also about developing social skills and interpersonal transactions that enable me to become more familiar and approachable even with new-comers.  My objective is to befriend a diverse mixture of people and to allow others to familiarize themselves with me, so that there are as few communication barriers as possible.  I feel therefore, that I am able to deliver an approachable persona for others to get to know me and my own unique characteristics.\n\nUniversity is largely about research and why I beleive that we are apt to study one another in a certain kind of environment that is both academic as well as sociable, I have the opportunity to study others as they do me and so there is a natural unbiased communication also.  I contribute what is therefore, projected back and so the experience of my immediate surrounding is often spontanious and uncontrived.\n\nIn addition, I contribute to student life and university life through whatever learning materials and resources are available to me and how this influences the approaches I adopt with staff as well as students.  For instance, I may have access to the grande library and therefore, this allows me to use the resources that enable me to gain access to information better and thus apply my articulation skills further - enabling me to evolve my written and oral communication attributes.  This enhances my ability not only in discussion, but in the research I contribute to my studies in general.\n\nI have an appreciation for other cultures and the diversity in the multi-cultural institution I am currently studying and it is this that arouses my own understanding of other students and what they contribute to my own learning.  Without this, it would not be possible for me to contribute as much as I do already and my passion and enthusiasm for knowledge, makes this social interaction possible and a very rewarding journey towards self-discovery I can bring directly into the community in which I am very much a part of.\n\n\nEnd.\n\nI tried to make this as long as possible, but wanted to give you some idea of how to go about answering at least one of the questions and know that you don't have much time - hope this helps you, but this would be a brilliant answer to the second question.\n\nEven if you don't get to put more than this, at least you will be on the right lines and have written a good peice so far - I used to go to University so know my stuff.  Also, everything today is about cultural-awareness and diversity, so always t

I hate to say it but I believe that you are overgeneralizing.  While there may be some students that know very little about supporting themselves, there are others that know a great deal.  Not only that but some students learn a great deal about income by supporting themselves while trying to obtain their education.

Because people do not understand the aim of education,,Education in school and uni.s is not only giving information (that is more in schools) , but mainly it teachs the person HOW to get information,,millions of books are there everywhere full of information (plus internet  ...etc), what ment by education is to enable the person to get the information and use it to solve a problem..(of course I am not talking about the basics)

I see myself asking people to ensure their child is given a good grounding in the basics before even starting school. Children need to know so much before they even set foot in a school. \n\nChildren need to be given help before they reach school to ensure they don't fall behind in our fast paced world.
