In the New Era one of the readers submitted the follow question to be answered by Church leaders and by other youth. He wrote, "Some of my friends are dropping out of school to get jobs. I don't really like school either, but I know education is important. What should I do?"
Before we read the answers given, write what do you think this boy should do?
1. I think this boy should... get a job that can give him an education.
The Church leaders wrote this is response to his question, "Work and education are both important. But they should be done in the order. This is the time in your life to focus mainly on study and learning. Finishing high school is necessary to get more education and good jobs later in your life. After high school, it is a good idea to continue your education. For many that will include attending college but other possibilities include going to a technical school, taking online courses or enrolling in community education.
What kind of education plan do you want for yourself after you graduate form High School?
2. After High school I want to... study mechanical engineering with an emphasis in Robotics. I want to practice making robots so that I can enter them into contest- like the Maker's Fair. After I study those things I want to get a job making robots that can be used for entertainment (like the Lego Mind Storm) and robots that can be used to help with everyday chores.

Hi Spencer I couldn't find your answers to the questions at the top of your blog. Just the questions and Grampa's comments are visible??
Education is important all your life but especially before you do your life time career. Look at your dad, grampas, uncles they all got a great education before they started their careers. Of course this has been equally important to all the women in your lives. Can you imagine having a mom that wasn't educated? Education is so important.
President Obmama recently gave a talk to all the school children of the US. You should listen to it on youtube. You can look it up on Google to and get the transcript too. One of the things he said was, "You cannot drop out of school and into a good job!" So true.
I'll go out and get you the link to youtube. I send it in the next comment.
Love you, Gramma
