He is wrong and is categorically lost in the real purpose of education. Going to school with the sole objective of obtaining a job and graduation with the same reflection means that the person has missed many courses at school. The largest error in the career system is the way some people position the value of education. Yes, some people now see the university to be synonymous with a job!
But if you understand the value of education, education does not mean or does not respect jobs. Education is designed to be a system to release spirits, not a system to simply obtain jobs. Jobs are only one of the advantages or characteristics associated with education, as education provides knowledge.
Yes, the true value of education is the release of the mind. If we have knowledge, we cannot be governed by jobs. We cannot fear jobs because we will have the capacity to have our future. If you have the right education, you have the victory over the jobs. An IGBO proverb says that “ndu ka ihe eji azu ya” [life is bigger than whatever is required to sustain it]And this means that we must seek knowledge on fixing the work. I challenge us to develop skills and capacity, and jobs, in different forms, will emerge.

And that means that even when the jobs arrive, we must not allow jobs to direct us. In large part, there is no job, no one will judge that someone has not “held” or “resigned”. And that means that when your job title or work is the first way people relate to you, you have a problem.
For what? The day the title goes, you become miserable because the basis of your existence has disappeared. But if you are as no one, you will see that nothing “expires” in your career because the job titles come and go, but you shouldn’t. Let us have the victory over jobs and stop the debate that university education is useless with some which even burn their certificates in Nigeria (I doubt they do it!).
Do not forget: doing an “a” or “c” is not education; The process of manufacturing an “A”, “C” or anything is education. If you do not submit to this process, whatever the note they attribute to you, you will always miss what it means to be educated!
The purpose of education is to provide you with logical tools to think about your mind. Simply, to reason. We lived in the village and we get sick. Then, we went to schools and teachers taught why washing your hands before eating is desirable. Suddenly, we could spend weeks and months without getting sick. What happened? Wash your hands remove the germs …
You used to kill twins, but someone explains that it is a biological process and instead of killing it, you celebrate the arrival of the twins. You knew nothing about electronics; Someone explains how electrons play to give electricity, you use it to create something. If you are educated, you have logical tools to think.
Note that we have many diploma holders who are not educated.
