10.It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs.In other words,they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don't.It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs.But this isn't accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living.This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education.In fact,if education is just a way of making a living,people don't need to spend so much time in school.People can get education for a living in a short time.Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone.Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail(详细地),either.Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man.It is not only to teach him to speak,read and write,but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities.After that,it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human.Education is to make a man lead a better life.Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music,read good books,watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education,but certainly not the most important or the main reason.

分析 受教育更好的人通常能得到更高薪的工作,这是真实的.换句话说,他们更有机会选择一个好工作,而受教育少或未受过教育的人就不能.似乎受教育的目的是为了使人们找到工作,但不是所有人都接受这个观点.
一些人也许会认为一个人应该在一生最好的年华中接受教育,仅仅是一种谋生的方式.这可能是教育最早的目的.实际上,如果教育只是谋生的一种方式,人们就不用花费许多时间在学校了.人们可以在短时间内接受教育来谋生.如像历史和地理就不必教给每个人了.甚至语言和数学也不用详细地教了.很明确的是,教育远不只是教人们如何谋生.
教育是全面的,它主要用来提升一个人.它不仅仅教人说话、阅读和写作,也发展人的创造性思维和其它的能力.然后,它再使人成为一个智者,并且对享受人类的成果感到感激.教育使人过更好的生活.受教育的人期待能够听好音乐,阅读好书,看好剧以及拥有世界上的爱好.
我同意谋生是教育的一个重要原因,但不是最大的原因和主要原因.
