Activity 1.1
When I first reached the activity 1.1, this is the questions I want to ask myself. I was born in china and raised in china until I finished my high school. During the school, I realized I am interesting in biology and chemistry. However, I had no chance to put my interest into the real life. The textbook was the only source which I obtained biology and chemistry knowledge. When I just got U.S.A, I was able to work. Then, I started working. My first job was pharmacy technician. I loved it. This job relate with biology and chemistry. As a result, I stopped going to school. I thought this I my dream work.
After 2 years, I realized that I need to go back school for my further education. I am still young High school diploma is not good enough.
I think education is more important because without education we can’t reach high level income especially in medical filed.
From this activity I realize that going back to school is right choice. I made right decision. I didn’t say that people have various working experience is bad thing. I have rest of my life to work. Compare to work and school during young age, I think school is more important.

I must say that this activity also helped me realize certain things about education that I was not able to recognize before. I think your blog is very informative with your experience and will help others who may not have came to a realization about their career or education. Reading your blog could help someone else open their mind towards education, careers and balancing both of them.
ReplyDeleteAsh stop reading my mind, I am going to fail because you keep stealing my thoughts, both here and on Adrian's blog, I have no one to reply to hah! < This better count!
ReplyDeletePeople say, "the more you learn, the more you earn." In the U.S.A, today, about 80% of jobs require some education or technical training beyond high school.no doubt, higher education is the great value in life. a college education is not only preparation for a career; it is also preparation for life.
ReplyDeletehey too bad that u was out. lolz
ReplyDeleteI like your post. are you still a pharmacy technician now? or you quicked your job? I'm strongly agreed with your main point that school is more important than your job. Fine a part time pharmacy technician job lo. good luck
