Some people believe that the most important reason for a young person to continue studying in higher education is to increase their income when they get a job. I do not accept this idea because earning money is not the only aim for continuing studies in university.
Young people need a good quality of education for a better quality of life for their family in the future. People who have more experience in education would manage their household well. Many mothers decide not to work although they have graduated from university. As a housewife, they prefer to give all their time to their children rather than earning money with a certain job. Both the theory and practical experience that they have gotten in higher education are used to educate their children. Parents who give more attention to their children will help them grow up to be good people. Some problems may happen in their family if the parents don’t have good enough quality of education. Broken homes caused by divorce are one of the examples of the failure of managing a household. Hence, parents must have a good quality of education, in particular for parenting.
Many people hope to be a person who is useful to others when they finish their studies. When they are finished, they are more concerned with giving services in the community. In university, they had a lot of knowledge and practical experience in community service. In addition, they sharpen their empathy by interacting with more people in university. If all the people think that money is the top priority, then many poor people would be left behind.
In conclusion, personal orientation becomes the most important reason why they continue studying in university. Managing a family well and caring for others are more important reasons than earning much money after graduating from higher education.
