Education For All…?

As a soon-to-be teacher, I suppose I should promote the importance of a post-secondary education and the value found in attending University or College.  If I preached this to my students, I would be lying to myself and to them.  I strongly believe that just as there are different learning strategies and differentiated instruction in grade school, there are also differences in the ways people pursue occupation and careers.  School is not the only answer.  One can find a tremendous amount of knowledge and skills from elders,  peers, travel, religion, etc. that can provide the foundation of a solid career choice and in turn, a "successful" life.  University and college are not the only options for one to choose if they want to be "successful".  Success is a word that has a different definition to each individual.
