The value of education will depend on what you do with it. Used properly it is like money in the bank. The more you learn the more valuable you become. One can compare education to money.
Education is Forever
Unlike money though, no one can take your education from you. Education is the principal in the bank that keeps on growing and multiplying. The principal and interest you have is your wealth. What you do with that wealth is up to you.
From the day you are born, you constantly are learning. Everything you learn is put in your bank ready for you to use when you need it. Like interest, your knowledge keeps growing during your life.
Types of Education
There are several types of education.
General knowledge, what you learn from your life as you get older.
Specific knowledge is the formal education you acquire from elementary school to high school and on to college.
Like money kept away in a bank, it is kept secret. People will know how much you are worth only if you allow them. Your formal education is a window into your wealth. Society will be able to view a small sample of what you are worth.
Reinvest Your Education
The total of your worth can only be revealed to the world by the use of your education. That use of your knowledge will become money as you reinvest it into society.
The more money you have will be judged by society on how much you are worth to society. If you do not use your education and reinvest it into society, people will think you are not worth much and pass you over.
Society thinks people who are poor are not much use. People who are rich however are considered valuable and well educated. It will be the rich who get more attention and are considered leaders.
Sale Your Education
You must become a salesman of your talents (education) to establish your place in society. Your real worth will always be known to you. You will know what you are really worth.
Non-confident people will only show a small amount of what they are worth. Confident people will show a lot more of what they are worth. Confident people are better salesmen of their worth and generally accomplish more by the use of their talents.
Confident verses unconfident is the transition of your knowledge to society and will become the monetary value of your worth to society.
The value of your education will be up to you. You decide where you want to be in society. Money doesn't really tell a person's real worth, but does establish your standard of living and comfort level. Spend your talents to suit you.
