Since I was young, my parents kept telling me education is the key to success. We need to educate ourselves well so we are prepared for the world. We struggles, burnt midnight oil during exams, and compete with other students to stay on top or afloat in my case.
However, now in Sydney I discovered the trend. I discovered those school dropout who ended up as train master, garbage collector, mechanics, land mower and other odd jobs could earned as much as a university students! It's even better if they expanded their skills and open up a company, they can even owned a few houses. Now, is education important??
I am not sure what I have been told are valid anymore. Moreover, in the past, the government here did not fund a lot for education, and it's always take a back seat. I noticed more and more school kids are lured to these odd jobs since having a paper qualification may not end up being rich!! How can I disagree in this case??
Well dear parents? What will you tell your next generation?? Beats me!

eastern families teach children to study hard so that they could make more money but I find that it is not necessary the case in the west. My half angmo husband think going to school is to acquire knowledge in a more structure way and learning is fun. In his mind, it was not about getting a good job later
