You know, the more ca10j posts, the more convinced I am that he really is missing out on alot- yes, education wise. Have you ever thought there's more to life than just an education?? Life experience AND an education COMBINED is what gets the job done nowadays. I am about to graduate with a Chemical Engineering Degree, and as someone who failed math my senior year of high school, alot of people didn't believe that I could get a degree, much less a Chemical Engineering Degree. So, where am I getting at? There are plenty of my peers on the job market with much better GPA's than mine. But you know what, they have their noses so far stuck in a book and rarely EVER get out to enjoy the REAL world, they don't have the people skills that it takes to work with others. So, to make my point, for you to say "no amount of life experience can get you where a college degree can," shows just how ignorant your outlook really is. And actually, it is quite embarrassing for someone like me to read. Don't get me wrong, I am very proud of my education, but I know that it is not something to flaunt such as you have, and yes, you are flaunting it, because with your attitude you, my friend are well on your way to being the one who packages groceries while you ramble on about a bunch of bull.
If you guys never assumed you wouldnt make asses out of yourselves. I understand education is just a single building block to success. I have worked a 9-5, i have volunteered for hundreds of hours in different medical facilities, i have helped peers through hardships, i have experienced my own life and i have functioned regularly and efficiently within society. For you to assume all i do is educate myself is ignorant and completely implies a lack of knowledge about the education system. All the help and guidance one needs to succeed is provided for at a young age in all public schools, only few will take advantage and broaden there horizons others will have a closed mind for ever.
