As knowledge is becoming an increasingly important quality, it has also become a necessity for those who look for desirable positions. In a word, people who receive higher education might be driven by a rather practical reason: the chance to a better job.

Through receiving higher education and acquiring knowledge, people can also see the truth of this world more clearly. Knowledge allows people to analysis the entire society through varied perspectives, thus they are capable of generating new perceptions of the world they live in. This might not appears to be connected closely with our daily life, but people standing on a higher level can behave wiser when they are confronting with important decisions.
