Education has always been a sensitive issue. Nowadays some people say it is the most important thing for teenagers, others consider it less important.
I tend to agree with people who consider it to be the most valuable thing. Firstly, there is no doubt education is important and must be financed and valued. A lot of teenagers strongly believe that education is essential. Studying helps us develop and master our skills, which are extremely useful in modern life. Various subjects are responsible for different areas. ICT and Maths help to develop planning skills, concentration and self-discipline. The humanities make teenagers more creative, work on critical thinking and elocution. All in all, if people study hard it can broaden their minds. Secondly, becoming a specialist is a key to success, as people with any kind of degree are more successful in the job market than people who did not study at university. It is a well-known fact that all well-paid jobs require higher education.
However, some people think education is not the most valuable thing for teens because other priorities require a lot of time and efforts to be invested in. They say that teenagers should have their hobbies and go out with their friends. Young people cannot spend the whole day studying hard. Teenagers are young and free, so they should enjoy their adolescence.
Still, I cannot agree with those people who say that it is really important to enjoy this wonderful period of life without worrying about studies. I strongly believe that teenagers should prioritize and understand that they need to do their best in studies to become successful people in the future.
To wrap it up, I think it is safe to say that education is the top priority for teenagers when it comes to the issue of their future career because it allows to get a well-paid job and have a happy lifestyle.
