What Is More Powerful? Education vs Money

21 April, 2020

Overview

As they say, “An investment in knowledge, pays the best interest!”

Instead of getting into the hustle of which is superior over another, let’s talk about the common perspective of money and education in our lives.

Everyone has their own take over this heated argument for decades, we’ll just clarify some of the aspects we usually neglect while making our choices.

Why Money is Important?

Money is undoubtedly essential for every good thing that brings financial happiness to our lives. Right?

It is a never-ending addiction which by the way pays away your maximum worries. More money – less stress.

As we hear it always, money can’t buy happiness. BUT… practically, money actually can. You probably need to know your happy desires.

Apart from lavish dine-outs and weekly shopping, how else money can make a space in your living?

Hear me out!

· Comforting Lifestyle - Money obviously satisfies your luxurious needs such as a lavish house, branded makeover and in short every expensive materialistic and comforting thing money can buy without a doubt.

· Medical Support – Where would you rather be in an emergency? A well-established health treatment center where you can be looked after with proper care OR a local healthcare center where things come in handy. You decide! And don’t forget about the pre and post medical expenses which includes expensive medicines, X-rays, medical tests and god knows what else.

· Money Gives You Status – This may sound a little prejudice but make you superior in many aspects. Take authority status for now. All these rich business tycoons who we all know I’m talking about have powerful authority in the society which is difficult to beat. And not to brag, but at some point in life, we wish to have that same lifestyle as they own.

Why Education is Important?

Oxygen may be necessary to survive but education is necessary to live. It may not give you financial status in society but a literate mind can definitely make you stand from them. The best part about education is that it is not age-restricted. There’s no limit to educating yourself for, as far as I know, you can keep going it till forever.

Here’s what I’ve gathered in my expertise that why education may have the upper hand:

· The Money Will Come Handy – An educated person knows how to make money originally. You obviously have better career opportunities with a higher education degree in one hand high figure salary offers in other.

· It Makes You Wise – It’s actually alright to have less money in the bank account but it is not at all comparable to have less knowledge that makes you a geek in the society. An educated person always stands wise and sober amongst those who only carry heavy wallets.

· Makes The World A Better Place – This may sound a little cliché but that’s real. Through education, you can spread peace in the world. A few good words are all it takes to win hearts. One more thing that strikes to my mind is that education clear majority of differences and misunderstandings between people. An illiterate mind only speaks whilst an educated mind listens and understands.

· It Gives You Confidence – Would you prefer standing among educated heads and feel regret that you missed your education for the sake of other necessities? No right? Education gives you the confidence of standing among people and keep your point of view in front of them.

Parent’s Point Of View

Even this aspect can vary from parents to parents. Some may sound alright about dropping their children higher studies as long as they’re getting enough income in hand. Whereas, some would work twice as hard just to keep their children’s studies going on.

Parents are still not 100% aware of the importance of education comparing their era and this current era. Obviously, things were a lot more different in their times where education had no further importance because people had to feed their families. But it’s different now. An educated individual will be respected better than the one who’s not.

Extravagant Education System

Speaking of education… It brings my focus over our hell expensive education system where it makes bound you to do extra shifts to pay expenses. Starting from admission fees, monthly semesters and examination charge to lunch breaks, courses, and other combined study expenses.

How exactly do we expect people to pay all of it? I would agree there are scholarship programs but not every kid is a genius. What about people who can’t afford such manuals but still want their kid to study in the best institutes?

This is one of the key points why a student drops out of their education and focus more on financial living to support their family. In some cases, we witness a father’s absence in the family which makes the child the breadwinner of the family. There are many stories that we’re unaware but let’s not get into that today.

How Can We Resolve This Dilemma?

It’s high time we end this forever argument about what’s superior over each other. But we can’t deny the fact that education will always have an upper hand over money. You can make money from education but you definitely can’t buy education with money. I’ve gathered a few to-dos that will help you come up with a decision among these two.

· Council parents and students about education importance and what can they become with a better education.

· Offer discounts, additional scholarships, installment options in educational institutes so people can afford their education expenses.

· Allow part-time jobs to earn side income alongside.

· The government should provide jobs to people who are skillful and don’t judge them over degree.

· Run after knowledge, not just degree. You may be able to buy a diploma but you can’t buy knowledge.

Heads Up!

This is a never-ending debate that has been going on since forever. To complete your entire education and then start earning might take a long period and money is something we need every day. Who do you expect to pay your miscellaneous expenses like your Saturday night outs, combine study fun and much more stuff? But at the same point, if your focus is only set on earning money, it will not help your brain to compliment along.

Well, everyone has their own individual opinion. What's yours?
