Further Education
Is study really necessary?
The simple answer to the question posed here is YES! But sometimes it’s hard to understand why.
When you’re stuck in a history class going over the French Revolution it’s really hard to see how it is going to help you decide on a career or find a job down the track, although it could come in handy on Quiz Nights.
The thing to remember about study is that it is in itself a skill that you will carry with you throughout your working life.
Learning HOW to study is the main point of studying anything.
Studying helps you to become RESOURCEFUL, something every employer will want you to be. They will want you to be able to find out things for yourself, figure out how to overcome problems by yourself.
In other words, Employers will want you to be self-sufficient and not be a burden on those around you.
Studying teaches you to help yourself.
Of course, it also opens up new worlds to you that you may very well find interesting. That history lesson might spark your interest in finding out more about the events that shaped the world.
That experiment you did in chemistry might tweak an interest in science that you never knew you had.
Study is the bedrock of career
There’s no getting around it, at some level you will have to study and pass some test or other to get to the next level you want to go to, whether that be University or a training organisation or getting a job straight from school.
And the simple fact is that the better your qualifications are the better paid job you are likely to get and the more money you will make during your career.
Jobs that need University qualifications pay better over the length of a career.
But just about any job these days requires you to study at some level. Even the most basic of labouring jobs will require you to have a driver’s licence (which you have to study for) and maybe to understand plans or written directions.
The more you study the more likely you are to meet people that share the same interests and perhaps amongst those people will be your future partner.
The more you study the more likely it will be that you get the job you want and the career you dream about. So go for it!
Study leads to being better off
Being better off means different things to different people but there’s no doubt that study will help you achieve whatever it means to you – money, security, promotions, career satisfaction, scholastic success.
It will also help you provide for you family, buy you a nice house, allow you to travel and experience new places.
And don’t think study stops when you leave school or graduate from university.
If you study throughout your life, your life will be richer in every way. So always consider taking up further education.
Study, money and careers
Further Education and higher qualifications will always give you a headstart over someone less qualified. It will allow you to go for better paid jobs, get those promotions within the company you work for or find work quickly in Australia and overseas.

Here’s some facts and figures for you to think about next time you feel like skipping that biology class:
- According to research, someone who has a bachelor degree and goes on to build a career with that qualification is likely to earn about $2.9 million over their lifetime. That's good money!
- That compares with $2.07 million for someone who graduates from Year 12 but doesn’t do any more study and $1.74 million for a person whose highest level of education is Year 11.
- So someone with a basic Uni degree will on average earn $893,000 over a career than someone who quit studying after leaving school.
Here are some examples of people doing similar work with different qualifications:
- Retail assistant no qualifications- average $50,000 but a marketing role with a higher education qualification, average $98,000.
- Office administration assistant with no qualifications, average $54,000 but banking and financial services, with a higher education qualification, average $91,000.
