Answer:

I think that education is the basic thing of our life. In my opinion, education is a learning experience from which students gain knowledge. It seems to me that education is a big deciding factor in our life. I am of the view that education without providing a better career is not of so worth for us. As far as I know, I can say that the role of education can’t be denied at any stage in our career. If you ask me about gaining my education, I would frankly say that I am gaining my education to help me in my career building.

When I consulted some other people about their views on education and career building, they gave different answers. Quite a few think that the only goal of education is just providing us jobs. Some other favour that education should provide us big help in our career building. 30% of the people disagree with the point that the main goal of education is career building while 50% of the people were strongly in favour of it.

I asked different questions about the role of education in life. The first question was what they thought about moral education. The second question was what they though of a noble career. The third question was about their opinion about religious education in educational institutions. Different answers were received in response to these questions. They were asked if they agree to the statement that the main goal of education should be career building. The last question asked to them was if they believed that more stress should be put on the career building goal of education.
