The Importance of Tertiary Education

As a response to the increasingly high demand of society for intellectual resources, people of all ages are in eager need of getting tertiary education at a college or university. The trend is quite understandable because tertiary education is of great importance to ones life, especially in terms of career preparation, new experiences, and enrichment of knowledge.
Firstly, college education is the initial step to start ones career. The fierce social competition requires people to be well equipped with knowledge and skills, which is the primary reason why they choose to go to college. They can learn new skills for careers with a lot of opportunities. Furthermore, such professional fields as information technology, business, and communication are expected to need a large workforce in the coming years.
Secondly, students go to colleges and universities to gain new experiences. This often means having the opportunity to meet people different from those in their hometowns. For most students, going to college is the first time theyve been away from home by themselves. Whats more, this is the first time theyve had to make decisions on their own. Making these decisions increases their knowledge of themselves.
Lastly, looking for self-knowledge, people also attend a university or college to expand their knowledge in subjects they find interesting. For many, this will be their last chance for a long time to learn about something that doesn’t relate to their career.
In conclusion, going to college is one of the most important experiences in one’s life. It helps to prepare people for future career and provide chances of learning about themselves and the world they live in.
