The Importance of Education?

Lyman Gauld: Education is important because being culturally literate and knowing how to solve problems makes our lives better. There is nothing wrong with being ignorant, never having read great books, having no clue about history, not being able to find "Idaho" on a map, and thinking that "classical music" means anything before Michael Jackson. Lots of people go through their whole lives exactly that way, and they are healthy, happy, and productive. But when life ends, they will never have had the thrill of a shiver down the spine brought on by a great poem. They will not have any idea how to figure out if they are spending too much for a box of cereal because they cannot calculate the price per ounce, and they miss the satisfaction of winning out over the "system."

My B.A. will ensure that I am able to provide for myself i! f my husband dies. I will only be seeing my husband once a year over the next 2 1/2 years but thankfully Allah (SWT) has not blessed us with children while I am still studying for my teaching degrees.
