Some people think that the current raising children is easier than 50 years before. However, in my opinion, raising children nowadays is more difficult than 50 years before. There are two reasons; First, raising children takes a lot of money for the private education which is burden on many of the parents. Moreover, there are many parts emerged in recently regarding career education that parents should take part in. To begin with, these days, many parents take lots of money for their children education than 50 years before. To survive in this world of endless competition, parents spend money to educate their children. Everyone is aware that entering famous college is like a camel passing through the eye of a needle nowadays in South Korea. One's ability can be clouded by other abilities so in order to stand out, people spend money in private education for their children to be the first. For example, there was a survey conducted by the Seoul education research center with 100 parents of students as respondents. The purpose of the survey was to measure how much money people commonly spend on their children education. An overwhelming 70% responded that children education took part in one third of their spending. This survey proves that nowadays children raising take a big burden in many people's living. On top of that, current career education requires more parents' participation than 50 years before. In the past, job was commonly a mean to earn money. Although job as a mean to earn money is still important, nowadays, people start to think that job as a mean to fulfill one's self-realization is pivotal in their whole lives. So, parents take part in their children education more actively to be good parents. In my case, my parents have information strength in my interest field. And I experienced practical career training in various fields from middle school. So, I could concentrate in academic learning without any concerns over my career or interest fields and enter in famous college. I am still satisfied with my major and not worried about my future. To sum up, the parents of today require a great deal of money for their children raising and have heavy responsibilities on their children education than the past. In this regard, I firmly believe that raising children is one of the hardest works in peoples' whole lives. |
