Is Higher Education Still Necessary Today?

Would your lives be different if you have taken a different course in College? Despite the reality that economic salvation for people living in third world countries like the Philippines lies in going abroad, a lot of Filipinos still prefer to get white collar courses so they can get white collar jobs after graduation. To their chagrin, those who took up the not-so white collar courses ended up working in foreign countries with to-die-for salaries.

But who is to blame these people? While blue collar jobs command respect and higher salaries in foreign countries, the same types of jobs are not only frowned upon in 3rd world countries but they are also at the lowest end of the salary bracket.
