How is education important?

So how do you guys feel about education? Personally I think education is needed for everyone. If a kid was born and throughout his whole life he had no schooling or any form of education he would not be able to support himself or a family. He would simply be a caveman. Education teaches you about stuff you need to know to live and support yourself. I can understand if you don't like school. I didn't like school at all but i got through it and i'm glad i did because i wouldn't be where i was without it. I would probably be working at McDonald's until i'm 40. Education is too important to pass up. Everyone needs education and there is no excuse to not educate yourself. Stop being lazy and get out and do something with yourself. You will not regret getting the best education you can receive. Go for it and don't skip out or it might be too late!

5 surprising education facts

Here is 5 surprising facts about higher education.

1. In 2009 347,985 students earned business degrees, but only 15,496 of them walked away with a degree in mathematics. Which is surprising.

2. One of the most studied degrees is park, recreation, leisure, and fitness. During a 10-year period, the number of students getting degrees in these majors jumped 92 percent!

3. With other common majors, education was the biggest drop in interest. In a 10-year period, the number of students earning an education degree went down 5 percent!

4. Only .4 percent of undergraduates attended one of the Ivy League schools. This shows that too much attention is made out to these 8 schools.

5. Last but not least. 23 percent of full-time undergrads, who are usually 24 or younger, work 20 hours or more per week!

What university is for you?

What university is best for you to get your education? Well depends where you live. The university i live closest too is California State University. But I would suggest you search around your area and find the best university in your eyes. Don't let anyone tell you what to do. Do what you want to do. Go to what ever university you want and get a education! It will affect your life in the long run dramatically. I am currently attending Sacramento State. I always wanted to go to this school and I kept pushing myself to try and get accepted there and i finally did. Find a university that has your type of major so you can get your kind of education. Think of what you want to major in and look for schools that have that major. Keep your grades up and study alot so you can come out strong with a AA degree or maybe even a BA degree. But if you want to push your self to the max and your major goes all the way to doctoral then go for it! What is stoping you? Go out and get the education you always wanted! Be something in this world and be proud of it! Good luck!

What is the oldest university in the United States?

So what is the oldest university in the United States? Well it was the University of Georgia. Located in Athens, Georgia, this university got its charter all the way back in 1785! Making it the first state-chartered public university in the United States. This university is ranked 20th overall among all the public university's in 2014. This university offers over 140 degree programs! This campus is over 759 acres wide and has roughly 389 building on it! Can't believe this has been here since 1785! I wonder what school was like back in that time.

How does gold form?

Gold is formed by the Earth's crust. The fluids move through the rocks over a large area and dissolve gold. When these fluids cool or react with other rocks the dissolved gold moves in cracks forming veins. As well as gold, the fluids carried other dissolved minerals, such as quartz. This is why gold is often found with quartz. These are known as primary gold deposits and to extract the gold the rock containing the veins of gold has to be dug up, crushed and processed.

How did World War 1 start?

A Serbian called Gavrilo Princip killed the Austro-Hungarian Duke Franz Ferdinand, in response Austro-Hungary threatened Serbia to give Princip up or else, but the Serbians didn't know who had killed Franz so could do nothing, Russia threatened Austro-Hungary not to invade, in turn the German Empire (who had a treaty with Austro-Hungary) threatened Russia, Britain and France threatened Germany as Britain and France had a treaty with Russia, Japan also helped Britain under the 1905 Anglo-Japanese Treaty. That was how it became a World War.

How did Halloween start?

 Ready for a little education? So how did Halloween start? It all started a very long time ago with a group of ancient Celts (a group of pre-Christian people who loved nature). They though October 31st the end of the year and always had a huge party which was called Samhain. They celebrated it because of the autumn harvest and the Celtic new year, where they thought spirits could come back and visit there loved ones. They put out food and drinks for the dead and left their houses open to give the spirits a entrance into their homes. Some people thought that if you left "treats" on the porch for the ghosts, this would make them happy and would not harm anyone. Later on, when Christianity spread, November 1st became a religious holiday known as All Saints' Day. The prayer that was told on this day was called Allhallowmas. The night before become known as Halloween.
