Part 14: Family Growth Through Education

Vida, Mark, and Aunt Jackie

What they have in common is education. Vida has her Masters, Mark has his Masters, and Aunt Jackie has her PhD. Vida's children have or will have at least a BS or BA.

Aunt Jackie told me that "Lori Lyn Brown Elery, my youngest child now deceased, had a bachelor degree in industrial engineering and post graduate work in Robotics and other studies. Her elder son has a bachelor degree in  molecular and cellular biology. He is seeking a Doctor of Pharmacy/PhD degree.  Her younger son is a university sophomore studying kinesiology."

When I was growing up, all the old people did was talk to me about getting an education.  But I looked at their life and all I saw was no education. I started telling them what I was doing in the field of education. Next I hear them say that too much study makes you a dual boy.  I take it that they talk about it because that was the thing to do.  They really did not mean it.

Very few of these people told me what to do with this so called education or what field of study is best for me. Here is why I went to college after I started working so that I could get an idea of what I wanted to do before I committed to a line of study.  Also I needed some type of income to pay for this education.  My job gave me most of my money to get my degree and to finance Stephanie's degree.

I am sure our family has more people in the family with higher education than you see here. In the West part of the Eliza Thorn family, I know of  Dr. West and his daughter Dr. West. They are medical doctors.

What can Education do for you?

Here is information from the government on Labor Statistics

Keep in mind that your labor career is a "Work in Progress." You do not go to school once then done. Keep in mind, Technology changes completely once every 4 years.  If the technology is your field of work, you must change with it.
