What is the value of a educated life?

What is the value of an educated life? That is an interesting question. For me my life wouldn't mean a whole lot to me if I wasn't educated. I need to know things in order to do simple everyday things. If I never learned how to count or read life would be a lot harder than it already is. I can't imagine living a life without that kind of knowledge. But continuing on into more advanced knowledge like high school and even college, to me I'm at the point of wanting to learn things for the career I want to go into. That is why I am at college I like to learn about things that interest me.
