Education or Networking

The monster in Frankenstein was different and appeared unique due to which the society kicked him out and this example says a lot about the people. The people kicked him out because he wasn’t human and thought he couldn’t be like one of them and that was true. He couldn’t appear human, but mentally he was able to learn and think like a human. He even learned to read, and write just like humans. His appearance stopped him from gong to school, but that didn’t stop him form learning on his own. Todays society we see this where colored people are essentially in the shoes of Frankenstein and the society represents the white people. Only because of our skin color people are judged and especially blacks because people think they aren’t capable and due to their skin they are underestimated. Still they can learn and even have doctorate degrees, but we live in a society where education doesn’t hold that much weight anymore because today what makes getting a job easy is not your education, but your connections and the people you know. We live in a world where there are definitely better qualified colored people working in over qualified positions and white people working in positions whom other colored people are more deserving. Unfortunately living in a society where white supremacy exists is not fair and makes me think is my education really going to get me the position I want or is it the people I know. I even wonder whether I should spend more time studying and learning or should I just focus more on my networking and getting to know more people who can get me a job easily even if I don’t have all the qualifications for it. So I will always question myself whether education really is what I need when I go to school.
