Collins College offers education in creative fields such as game design and film production. The good thing about creative fields is that people who have a career in them usually like it a lot. People can find something that they love and then create in it. People enjoy expressing themselves artistically as well as being productive. That can help them start a good career which will pay them enough to take care of themselves and their families.
I see education as the most important tool we have in ending poverty and creating a better world for all. Education empowers people and it can enable them to overcome the oppression of poverty. Additionally, a more educated society will run itself more wisely.
