“The most important things in life are not learnt at school or

college.”

Use examples and details in your answer

I personally agree with the statement that the most important things in life are not
learnt at school or college.

In fact, there are many things in life, we are not taught in school but learn in the
school of life. for example: Applying to jobs, Money management,etc.

Knowing how to save and manage money is an important life skill that,
unfortunately, isn’t taught in school. This is why many students go broke during
their college days.Truth is, life after school is a whole new world and when you
enter it, you’ll soon realise how crucial it is to be able to manage your money,

especially when you’re studying away from home. Once you master this skill,
you’ll have enough money to pay all your bills and save for the future at the same.

Once you’ve graduated from college or university or even school if you want to
work immediately, you’ll need to know how to apply for a job and this is not
taught in school.

In short, there are many things that we don't learn in school and it can only be achieved
by real life experience.
