Abstract

In a globalized world where information means power, we are witnessing a reorganization of the labor market, consisting in its computerization, thus, in order to successfully cope with an increasingly sophisticated job, certain skills, advanced knowledge and a diploma of higher education in the field are required. In this context, young people are considering more than ever to invest in their training level, strongly motivated to increase their earnings and quality of life. Throughout life, individuals are encouraged and find reasons to determine them to invest in education and professional development because through the educational system they acquire abilities and knowledge, which are reflected by the change of a person towards the benefit of the entire society.
