Okay, so I've been thinking about education, learning, studying, etc. and I was trying to think about the main reasons why people choose to study (and by this I mean choose to go onto College/Universities - not compulsory education). I mean, for one thing there's money in it in the future as people who go to University are more likely to be paid more in the future than people who don't. But I still want to know the biggest reason why people simply choose to go on to further education. What do you guys think?
As for me: I think that self-motivation is the biggest reason people - at least me anyway - go on to further education. I want to learn more about what I'm interested in (notice the key word 'want') and If you want to do something, you end up doing it and doing it pretty well. Money is cool, but if I didn't want to go to university/college then I wouldn't. That's why some people I know who were not motivated and simply went in there for the sake of going dropped out very quickly.
Anyway, I'm rambling. What are your opinions? I would be interested to know!
