Many people in the workforce are unhappy with their current salaries or career and consider a change
or a betterment of their lives through discovering new avenues of industry.Adult education is on the
rise.I personally hold that adult education is highly advisable and completely achievable and
therefore is highly important.Firstly,adults starting a new or returning to school most often have
found within themselves a strengthened desire to succeed.Studies have shown that 80% of adult
students graduates as compared to a 50% average graduation rate among traditional students.Further
more,adults have a bank of knowledge from life or work experience that can contribute to what they
will learn in school.This is a fantastic advantage over their younger peers.Adults also view their
professors as peers and are less intimidated by them.Last but not least,higher education for the
adult is a life changing experience.Most often,adults go to school to further their education in
hopes of salary increases,chances for promotion,or they go to school for change,hoping to enter
into a better field or pursue a field that they have a deep rooted passion for.In conclusion,the
importance of having adult education overshadows the difficulties in pursuing your degree later in
life.Given that most colleges and universities have tailored their programs of fit adult student's
needs and schedules,going back to school for adult education is feasible and highly advisable.
