Unfortunately, my undergrad and advanced degrees amounted to little more than expensive membership cards. I think they're both at the bottom of a box somewhere:) Great post. .-= Josh Hanagarne´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/worldsstrongestlibrarian/~3/XBknWL1ie5k/" rel="nofollow">The Entrepreneur’s Magic Bullet</a> =-.

Degrees serve no purpose if you don;t have the right character to go with it. Obtaining a degree is not in itself a prove of one's ability, it is how one goes in life that proves the extent of one's knowing. :-) I go in parallel with you here.

It make syou not smarter than the lifelong learner who has only a diploma. The paper says, "this person can set a goal, accomplish, and retain a standard amount of knowledge in the area of their study." The richness and joy of life is not bound in $150 textbooks. It is in the world around us and open to our exploration. That said, school and formal education absolutely has value. But it is a SUPPLEMENTAL value, not an absolute one. .-= ForNot´s last blog ..<a href="http://forwardnotion.wordpress.com/2010/05/21/terminal-holla/" rel="nofollow">Terminal Holla</a> =-.

No one seems to enjoy school or work, but they do it because they are conditioned, they do not see that they have better dreams and desires that can make them feel good and make life enjoyable instead they subject themselves to the different ways of manipulative mind control in the form of t.v. shows, movies, news etc because they think it might make them happy since everyone else seems to do it. Totally random of me to say this but I've come to a new understanding after listening to "Your Wish is Your Command" Kevin Trudeau's cd set. Putting that aside, people who say that education will provide a secure future, I will laugh in their face. It is not secure, and it is not guaranteed, you will be guaranteed to learn and get the training but not so much the job thats dependent on many factors which now seem to be changing.
