Cost-Benefit Analysis of Going to School

Costs:
Tangible

• School Tuition Fee
• Uniforms every year
• Sports trips fees
• Supplies for class/hw/projects
• Motorcycle Taxis
• Getting to school (gas)

Intangible

• Mental Fatigue
• Physical Exertion on a daily basis
• Discouragement at times.

Benefits:
Tangible

• Education
• Knowledge to attend College and get a degree...hopefully
• Possibly get a decent to well-paying job

Intangible

• Unforgettable memories
• Experiences that shape one's life
• Life-long friends
• Life-long lessons learned
• Development of Character
• Opportunities that you wouldn't have had if you didn't go to school.

In conclusion, the benefits greatly outweigh the costs. Some people might argue, but I guess it's due to the fact that not every school is the same--obviously. If they have a bad experience with school than it is fair that they'd argue that the costs outweigh the benefits. Again, it's a personal thing/issue.
