Can Education and Money Guarantee a Secure Future? - WHAT ARE THE RESULTS?

 Education  can improve life in so many ways, but it does not always bring the results that students expect. For example, after years of sacrifice and incurring significant debt, many cannot find the job that they wanted.  A report by Rachel mui in Singapore's Business Times says:  "Graduate unemloyment appears  to be a growing issue." Jianjie, a doctorate holder who lives in Taiwan, "Many have no choice  but to accept a job that has nothing to do with their degree." 

Those who can obtain a job in their chosen profession may still find that their life has not turned out as they had hoped. After returning from the university in the United Kingdom, Niran, who is from Thailand, found a job in his field."  As I expected, the degree helped  me  to get a job with a higher salary.  However, the higher salary demanded more work and more time from me.  Eventually, the company had laid off most of its employeeds, including me. I realized that there is no security in any job."

Even those who are rich or have achieved the so-called good life still face family problems, health tragedies, and economic uncertainty. Katsutoshi, from Japan, admits,  "I enjoyed many material th ings, but I was frustrated by competition, jealouy, and bullying." Liam, a woman who lives in Vietnam says, "I see many people strive for a well-paying job to obtain financial security, but in reality, it has the opposite effect - insecurity, health disorders, emotional exhaustion, and depression.
