My Rookie Pieces3 Education and Success
AWA ISSUE 12
Education has become the main provider of individual opportunity in our society. Just as property and money once were the keys to success, education has now become the element that most ensures success in life.
Which is the most dominant factor that leads to success besides money and property? In speaker’s view, education is now gradually developing into one of the essential elements.( Which factor offers more opportunities for success in our society: education or money and property? In my view, education has replaced money and property as the main provider of such opportunities today.)In my mind, education now replays the role of property and money as it is now comes to be the crucial element of success, and two reasons will serve to illustrate why I agree with speaker’s view. First, as the welfare system in every nation extends, higher education is nowadays commonly available for most students all over the world, and which imparts them with a key way to broaden their vision, especially, to explore their studies in a certain discipline. Second, the necessity of knowledge is now more imperative than that of personal connection and unrefined experiences. (I base my view on two reasons. First, education—particularly higher education—used to be available only to the wealthy but now is accessible to almost anyone. Second, because of the civil-rights movement and resulting laws, businesses are now required to hire on the basis of merit rather than the kinds of personal connections traditionally common among the wealthy.)
Education always plays a crucial role in determining what a person can finally achieve. (Education probably always played a key role in determining one’s opportunities for success.)Nonetheless, a university’s degree was somewhat next to impossible while the property and money determined the admission of university. Even so, university is now available to most of the civilian, as the applicant who meets all the prerequisite requirements of admission have opportunities to enter university for further study. (But in the past, good post-secondary education was available mainly to the privileged classes. Because money and property largely determined one’s access to higher education, money and property really were the critical factors in opening doors to success. However, higher education is more egalitarian today.)Moreover, prohibitive tuition no longer exists and money is no longer a problem even for the penniless student. For plenty of universities and colleges are willing to offer scholarship to the students who perform excellently in academic fields, arts, sports, etc. (.Given our vast numbers of state universities and financial-aid programs, virtually anyone who meets entrance requirements for college can obtain an excellent college education and open up windows of opportunity in life.)
Another reason why education is truly essential lies in that the highly-developed society nowadays makes the persons who obtain profound knowledge and well-trained skill are in great need. The most sought-after profession in job market such as financial analytics, software engineer and attorney are that require professional expertise. An axiom that the more proficiency you have, the higher wage you get does come into being. Consequently, while competing in an job market, a graduate with higher degree can undoubtedly knock out a novice without any certificate in hand
(Another reason those opportunities will be open to educated young people from middle-class and poorer backgrounds is that hiring is more meritocratic today than ever before. In principle , at least, we have always been a society where all people are equal; yet in the past, children of the wealthy and the well connected could expect to obtain higher-status jobs and to receive better pay. But the laws and programs resulting from our civil-rights struggles have produced a modern business climate in which jobs are available on an equal-opportunity basis, and in which candidates have a legal right to be judged on the merit of their educational background and experience.)
In conclusion, education is a main way to open the door to success in our competitive society today. The truth that education has outweighed the property and money dues to that college is no longer a privilege for upper-class and bourgeois class as well as a societal pattern which rampantly desires more expertise.
(The fact that education has supplanted money and property in this role is owing to a more egalitarian system of higher education, as well as to more merit-based hiring practices that generally value individual education over family fortune or connections.)

When it comes to education, many people consider themselves as the victims of the system, but I don't realize that.
