The cleverly thought-out words of Darryll Suliman Amoako, better known as Suli Breaks online, hold a strong argument concerning the difficult decision of attending post-secondary education. Suli brought up many significant points that caught my attention and made the video rich of different perspectives and sources.He compared the expectations of students from society to their parents expectations, which were almost identical. They say, "Education is key," but I think people can be educated under different circumstances. As mentioned in the video, David Beckham proves that, "There's more than one way to be an educated man." Having a degree or diploma opens many doors for the future, since most careers require that level of education. Attending University or College is a norm in society, and choosing against comes off as if they don't have their life together. Suli is right when he says that most people won't remember most lessons taught in classrooms or read out of textbooks. One of the most difficult aspects of post-secondary is the cost. Students are paying for education that might get them into the field they want, but no matter what, they must pay the entire tuition. There are few opportunities to have tuition costs covered, leaving many students in years of debt.
Going to post-secondary is a challenging decision and brings numerous struggles along with it, so maybe it's not worth it for everyone.
