How does education promote success?

In Keys to Success: How to Achieve your Goals, by Carter, Bishop and Kravits, the authors write:

Education is more than the process of going to school and earning a degree or certificate. It is a choice to improve your mind and your skills. Education is what you make of it. If you make the most of your mind, your time, and your educational opportunities, you will realize your potential.

Education gives you tools for lifelong learning.

1. You not only learn facts while studying, but also how to think -- an ability that will always be useful. Education improves your quality of life.

2. The Digest of Education Statistics 1996 reports that income levels rise as educational levels rise. Education expands your self-concept.

3. As your abilities grow, so do opportunities to learn. As you rise to the challenges of education, you will discover that your capacity for knowledge and personal growth is greater than you imagined.
Education enlarges your possibilities.

4. First, through different courses of study, it introduces you to more choices of career and life goals. Second, through the training you receive, it gives you more power to achieve the goals you choose.
Education improves your employability and earning potential.

5. Many studies have shown that education increases not only a person's employability and earning potential but also their self-esteem. Education makes you a well-rounded person.

6. As it widens your understanding about what is possible in the world, education increases your awareness and appreciation of areas that affect and enrich human lives. Education affects both community involvement and personal health.

7. Education helps to

1) prepare individuals for community activism by helping them understand political, economic and social conditions, and

2) increase knowledge about health behaviors and preventive care.
