Attitudes about Education - a rant...

Edited on Thu Jun-15-06 07:11 PM by skooooo

I have to get this off my chest. For those of you who look at the prospects of college education only as a means of "making money," I think you are really missing out on the value of education. Of course people who go to college do so with the intent of having a better life, but this emphasis on the idea that the only way education can pay off is by the potential to earn more money is F-ED UP!

Education is about learning how to think, and training your mind how to work - even if what you're studying doesn't have an immediate pay off. EDUCATION IS ITS OWN REWARD, PEOPLE.

GRRRRR.
