Question

It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words， they have more chances to choose a good job， while people with little or no education don't. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn't accepted by all people.

Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life getting education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact， if education is just a way of making a living， people don't need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and math need not be taught in detail(詳細)， either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.

Education is well?rounded(全面的) and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak， read and write， but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that， it is to make him a wise man. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music， read good books， watch good plays and most of them take an interest in the world.
