How ! would you pay bills or know what groceries you can afford to get?If you don't have a basic education you are dependent on others to help you do the most basic things you have to do to survive.Without an education, a person has no choices for their future. They will have to dig ditches and be janitors because they have no choice. With an education, if you want to dig ditches, you can choose to but you can also become a doctor or lawyer or a space engineer. You can even become president of the US.An education offers you opportunities to become who you want to be and do what will be fulfilling to you rather than being forced to be what someone with an education chooses for you....Show more
