Education is not the magic bullet it is billed out to be. It's all about work ethic and commitment. Which is what one has to have to obtain an 'education.' But what the 'educated' don't seem to understand is one can have or obtain this same quality of work ethic and commitment with out formal schooling and make equal if not more money.
IF education were the only Key to success then success would not be possible without it.
'Education' is just voodoo magic sold to populace as a cure all to whatever ails you.
Says education is voodoo magic...

And it's all done in a condescending, arrogant manner, proving that you are about as good at introspection as you are at using the English language.
First and formost I did not discard all education I specifically pointed to formal education. This point was underscored by the artical I left a link to concerning the narrowing gap between what a 4 year degree and a simple high school education will allow one to make over a life time.
So how does that make you an idiot?
If I were saying all education was bad it would also include high school or any trade schools. Clearly the focus of the article was comparing the life time salaries of a high educated verse a 4 year collage educated person. If my bias was against all education as you wrongly represented it would also include highschool education as well.
Second
I said education is not the magic bullet/cure all for everyone. I pointed out that it is possible to become successful and not be formally educated. which means there is another attribute or key to success vastly more important than simple education alone.
The point I was making was that IF their is an attribute that can make an uneducated person one of the wealthiest men on the planet (steve jobs, Richard branson, Dave Thomas, just to name a few) Then why isn't this being taught as the 'solution' to the world's problems???
This very thing is indeed being taught in eastern countries Japan, China, etc... but not here, at least not anymore.
No here we/you all have all been brain washed in substituting what does matter, with formal education/creating debt and over saturating the work force with millions of people with a very limited skill set... And, then we wonder why the world is passing us by.
Do you understand now? Or are you going to run off in a completely different direction just because no matter what I say you will automatically adopt the opposite?
