There are many reasons why a high school education is valuable. However, these are two examples:
1. A high school education allows you to be ready for college or university. This is a step that people who want to become professionals often take. If you want to access well-paid professions, such as engineer, lawyer and doctor, post-secondary education is often a requirement.
2. A high school education prepares you for the challenges of adulthood. Many people first encounter issues such as taxes, home maintenance, cooking, relationships, careers, etc. in high school, whether through the school curriculum or through their social network. Therefore, people who attend high school are generally better prepared to face the challenges of adulthood.
