One of the benefits of education is that the educational system teaches us how to obtain and develop critical and logical thinking and make independent decisions. 

When children become adults, they are faced with a lot of challenging issues – pay off your student loans, get a job, 

buy a car and a house, provide for your family, etc. 

However, if one has spent years educating themselves, 

they should be able to make sound decisions on these various quandaries.

 Not only are people able to form their own opinions, but they are also good at finding solid and reliable arguments and evidence to back up and confirm their decisions.
