Why a Graduate Degree


             What makes the system turn in such a way that some people become educated and others don't? It's opportunity. As such, a parent with a college degree can afford to offer their children more opportunities and experiences. It's not all about the money either, even though as we"ll see, education supports the pockets as well. It's about having the right tools to be able to teach your children the basics in life.

(Americas Children) A significant note would be that that education gives one the opportunity to send their children to pre-school learning centers. I don't believe that a less educated parent is not smart enough to send their children to pre-school, I just think they can't afford the cost. Another point regarding early education is that children that are read too are better adjusted in school and have an easier time learning and adjusting.
