Ronish-
Are you saying that grandpa a 100 yrs ago should` t have gone to high school or saying that Bill whose job it was to feed the pigs should not learn to read and write because he probably would never need it [...]
No, no. Education in and of itself is a very good thing for everyone to have. But there is a difference when we start to charge large amounts of money for it- at that point, knowledge becomes a privilege.
The problem I have is that the education is "sold" to young people as a way to earn more in the long run. When I was in high school, teachers most often told us that the reason for going to university was to earn more money down the road. There was some talk of our "personal betterment", but the main theme was the financial advantage.
Now, many people go into deep debt hoping that it will help them get a good job that pays off the debt AND pays more in the long run. Clearly, it is not all that simple- especially with today's economy- and many people are having trouble paying that debt now.
THAT is my problem.
[EDIT- not trying to be rude, BTW. I just feel that there is an honesty problem in the whole equation that should be addressed.]
