Studying - A life-time process


Education is one of the important keys to one’s success. Normally, everybody has to experience twelve years at elementary and high schools before entering to another four years at university. Graduation from colleges, universities, however, is not an end to your study but it is just the beginning of a new and more challenge stage.
After-university trainings are often under two forms, through formal courses or informal training outside classes. Some careers like teaching, doctoring, and engineering require people to enroll in classes every several years as these areas change everyday with a lot of new inventories, so that in order to not to be left behind, people have to study hard to update new information about their areas. Moreover, formal courses also help people to improve and complete their understanding to advance in jobs.
However, most of the knowledge you get from teachers is just in theory, and it may be far different from what it is in the real world. That’s why besides academic training, people also have to improve their working skills and get more hands-on experiences. Furthermore, enrolling classes takes a lot of time and money, and it will become a problem when you have family and need more time for your family.
On the other hand, when you reach advanced level, self-study will be more efficient as it is not just issue about inputting information any more but you have to research and think over new things from what you have learned. At that time, you can learn from other sources such as from professional journals, from conferences or from a net work with other professors.
Education is a life-time process. If you don’t want to go backward, you have to study; however, the way and the form of studying may vary flexibly during every stage of your life. It’s not necessary to take a course but you can study by yourself, study from other people around you like your colleagues, your friends and so on.
