Education

In todays world an education is something very special. To have an education means you know more than just common sense. People all over the world go to colleges and schools to get an education in a particular degree so they can be qualified for a certain job. Society decides if people are educated. If you are educated you will be able to get a job since society thinks you are knowledge in a certain area. However, education is not just about knowledge. Education comes from all experiences someone had throughout their life.
