How Higher Education Improves Life Satisfaction
Most of us have been going to school for over 15 years, all in the hope that
education will help us improve our livelihoods. Sometimes, it gets hard with a lot of
assignments waiting for you and hard concepts that we are unable to wrap around our
minds. We ask, is it worth the struggle? Shouldn’t maybe drop college and focus on other
things like talents and entrepreneurial skills? This is further fueled by student loans,
which we are the ones to pay in the end. However, as Mandela argued, “Education is the
most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Honestly, with all the
money and no education, we can destroy the world. We would be having ‘rich fools.’
Several studies and research have indicated that educated people are more satisfied with
life because of job opportunities, a great sense of accomplishment, and personal
development skills.
Having the right qualifications and meeting the requirements increases one’s
chances of securing a job opportunity. A post-secondary certificate, may it be a degree,
masters or Ph.D., equips one with more skills leaves them better prepared to handle more
skillful jobs which offer better pay. According to Paulsen & Perna (2018), in the United
States, education highly determines one’s lifestyle through the salaries they get paid.
High school graduates earn an annual average of $30,000, degree holders $50,000 and
above, while graduates of higher degrees like masters and Ph.D. earn $70,000 and above.
This earning gap is significant, and it remains consistent throughout one’s lifetime.
Additionally, being educated and meeting the requirements makes one stand out from a
pool of applicants, leaving them better placed to secure the advertised position.
