Education for all

I believe that education is definitly out there in the open, especially now with easy acces to community colleges that can eventually get one into state or university. The essay I chose to write is about how education sort of puts us into a strict state of mind of believing that education is the only way to success. The role of education is said to prepare us for the real world, but what if one does not wish to pursue a career and instead take a regular 40 hours a week job, then all that education was somewhat of a waste of time. Education is good because we learn, but anyone can learn by reading a book, doing research, basic experience and experimentation. So I would argue that the role of education definitly has some flaws in the sense that its not giving one much freedom because if you dont have a dimploma otherwise known as a paper that says your not stupid then you cant get a job based on your interest.
