Education

Education....Everything revolves around education these days. You have twelve years of school and after that you have the choice to go to college for another four years or more. But it really isn't that much of a choice for most people. You're pressured into going to college;  Your parents tell you to go to college, your teachers tell you, colleges tell you, jobs tell you, everyone tells you to go to college! You're basically told that you wont go anywhere if you don't get a good degree. Teachers give you charts showing you how much you could make if you go to college and how much you would make if you didn't go to college. Ready for my big opinion? SCHOOL IS A WASTE OF TIME! Maybe not all of school, maybe not all of college, but a lot of it is. I think we should only have nine to ten years of school and then get to decide if we get our education. I think that instead of having to go to college and getting a degree, you should be able to go and just learn that trade. Why do you have to go to college to become a Veterinarian? Why can't you just go to someone who is already one and learn from them? Why do you need a license in order to help other people or animals? Education wasn't always a big deal, you could just go and learn a trade and then do it. Sure you need to know things about diseases that animals can get, you need to know some biology and other sciences, but haven't you ever heard of research? A person could get books from their local library; or read article is in magazines, newspapers, or online. They could do this and not have to pay for college! I actually learn better on my own, than having to listen to some teacher give a lecture on a subject. Different minds work different ways, so why force people to go to college in order to get the job they want? I say let people choose if they want to go to college or not.
