I think the meaning of formal education is going to decrease. The education system responds to changes too slowly and it will collapse or lose its meaning at least. People seek knowledge and skills no degrees. Knowledge and skills can be learned without formal education and you don't need a certificate to prove it.
On the other hand I'm kind of old fashioned when talking formal education. I appreciate formal education, degrees and certificates. That may be so because classical formal education suits my personal learning style. I will talk about my learning styles later on.
When I was a child I really enjoyed school. I really wanted to go there every morning. I was eager to learn and understand life. I liked biology, geography, mathematic. I didn't like gym and that's because it wasn't educational it was primitive and brainless.
I managed very well in compulsory school the whole nine grades. I went straight to high school and still managed quite good although youth was difficult time. I wasn't that interested in school that much anymore. My plans changed a lot and I didn't know what I wanted to do after school.
After high school I took a short professional course and went to work. That work wasn't enough for me and I wanted to go back to school. I studied hairdressing in vocational college. I was very fond to the beauty industry so I needed to study more. I studied also beauty therapy in that same vocational college. During my beauty studies I got interested in make up and I wanted to focus on that so I went to study make-up.
After make up school I still needed to know and understand more so I went to university of applied science to learn more about cosmetics. After bachelors degree I wanted to have pedagogical qualification so I applied to these studies...
I have also studied a few course in university. Mostly education but also some marketing and computer science.
After these pedagogical studies I want to have my masters degree. My major could be related to education, marketing, social science, computer science or maybe future studies or management. Time will tell. I'm interested in so many things so it's going to be hard to choose.
