   In the article " The Dangers of Reality TV " Timothy Sexton argues that  reality TV is bad for us an one of the many different reasons, one of the many reason is that reality TV prefers one to make a fool of ones self that to be educated. How can education be unimportant in the world of reality TV. I for one agree with the author when he say the most dangerous message of all is that education is completely necessary to fulfill the American dream. I however think that to succeed at ones own dream is that you have to be grounded and have some form of education in order to succeed.

  Firstly Education is the key to success. Without any form of education you are nothing. I was always told that education can open many door, so why would you choose to live with out it. For example you dress to kill for an interview and you are looking sharp, then you are asked a question and you say a bunch of nonsense comes out of your mouth. That goes to show that you can look as sharp as a tack but when you open your mouth you can sound dumber than a few light bulbs short of a chandelier

   Secondly according to the passage education is completely necessary. How can education not be compulsory? Only a few have been know to succeed without an education. For example Steve Jobs, Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates etc. was able to make it in the world without a degree and succeed. From a personal stand point my mom has her own business and yet she never finished high school. Could  I or would I be as lucky as her? I for one not taking any chances as I push forward towards a better life with an education. As a child I was always told it is better to walk for something than sit down for nothing.

    The passage also mention that in school we are faced with difficulties of learning, when there is a much easier way to make fast money. A fool and his money shall soon part, meaning that no matter how much money you have if you don't have the ability to manage it you will loose it faster than you can count it. So that brings me back to the topic of education is necessary in life. Only a few have succeed without education.

   In conclusion count your self lucky that you can afford an education. Education is necessary for one to be able to succeed in life.
