Write now Article Tools

No matter how much you think about it, getting an education is also a way of gaining experience in whatever you choose to make your life's work. All of the professions do require some kind of degreed formal education. Then again, as you study what it is that you would like to do, you will have a better idea of what is required and also if that really is what you what to make your life's work.

You will also have to determine if you will earn a respectful living for yourself and your family. What good is a job that gets you nowhere? Here again you will have to learn about how much you can earn during your lifetime, and also provide enough for the rest of your life after you retire.

Like it or not, the first step in gaining experience is education. You must learn how to read and write and also communicate with those who you will work for. Without that much, your only life experience will be your life on the street, without a place to live and without healthy food to eat. You won't stay alive for long, unless you learn how to live off the land.

There really is a right way and a wrong way to gain experience. There is also your way to select a career for yourself. Well, that right way is to first get an education. I hope that your Parents can at least give you that much, in order to help you face the World on your own. You see, after you become wise in the ways of your job, only then will you be able to become successful.

So, without some kind of education your chances of gaining experience and wisdom is truly limited by how long you live or how lucky you are. There are many places in the World where young people don't get an education. So too, many young people also die on the streets within the Country in which they live. That can happen to you and any other person who believes that experience alone is enough to make your way in this truly harsh World that we all are a part of.

It is also true that some people get rich by finding buried or sunken treasure, oil, gems or some such valuable natural resource. For every finder of such wealth there are a million or more people who go broke trying to become instant millionaires. The many state lotteries are no better an example, as is legalized gambling or other games of chance. How much of your accumulated wealth are you will to rick for the reward of millions?

To become a stock market investor is also a no better way to go broke in a big hurry. As smart as you are or as well educated as you are still won't prevent you from becoming homeless if you end up on the wrong side of a trade that you can't easily remove yourself from. It's called being whipsawed and more than enough people through the years have ended their life because they could't face proverty.

My advise to you is to first learn about what it is that you would most like to do. Then, take all of the necessary steps required to become successful in what it is that you choose to be your life's work. I wish all of you the best and good luck.
