The Importance Of Education In Business

Isn’t the point of education to help you in life? Then why is it missing that, I was taught how to solve for X when Y and how many electrons are in an atom, but they never bothered to teach you how to build your credit or even pay bills. I believe schools should implement classes like economics or business classes as a requirement the same as other classes as well because these skills are just if not more important and valuable to know. Most of the things you need to know to succeed in the future are taught in school, but they aren’t made requirements instead they find other classes such as history more essential to have. When I was in high school I learned about many things, they offered numerous amount of classes. So many that it would be …show more content…
If I never decided to take introduction to business in high school, I would be just as clueless as everyone else, I might have even chosen a different career path. The class that I took touches up on important things such as how to write a check, opening credit cards, buying a car and much more. Just one class opened up my eyes to all the things I would have never had someone teach me if I decided not to take it. I enjoyed this class also because we had had a website that would update to the actual stock market. And we were given money on the website so that we would invest in stocks and see who would make the most money. It was a fun way to learn about how the stock market affects the economy. Before I took this class I was like most people and didn’t know about any of this. I just had a debit card but that wasn’t really anything special because all I did was just deposit money. The thing that I really thrived to know more about was stocks because I knew that if you have money and know where to place it could become more which is a very helpful skill that can help you in the future. In fact the teacher that taught the class Mrs. Wool told us that throughout college he made all his money off stocks. After I was told about this and how helpful I found this class over a history class it was mindboggling that these type of classes have yet not become a requirement like all the …show more content…
They’re so helpful to know and won’t do anything but benefit you in the long run. I still see them much more important than the classes that schools make mandatory like history, as these are life skills that you will need in the future. I see how schools leave it up to students to decide what classes they choose to take but it just doesn’t seem logical that the point of school is to make you educated and successful in life but they choose not to add these to the requirements. I am lucky to have decided to take a class in this field because as I said it also help me choose a career and will benefit me later as well. I wonder what people do when they are faced with something later in life like moving out or buying a car but are clueless with things such as interest and other things mean. It would make people more educated knowing things like this instead of who was the thirty fourth president. Maybe in the future students will have schools teach them about life skills and become requirements, I still believe that business classes are one of the most valuable classes you can learn about in school and have other sources backing up my opinion
