Morality

[Acrobat]

If you think education is strictly about money, that is simply stupid.

Typically when you enter college, you select a major, most of your course work and study will be devoted to that major, and you'll take a small selection of electives, a handful of which might be humanities, history courses, etc... As far as being exposed to diversity and understanding the world, there's perhaps a lot more to be learned by living in a diverse environment, than any formal education. As far as your moral development, there's more contributed to that development in your actual relationship with people, your family, friends, community, in the love between people, than any formal education can contribute.

Thank you for making the claim that my degree didn't shape my morals. It didn't line my pockets, but it most certainly made me a better person.

How so? Has it improved your relationship with your parents? Are you married, have kids? Has it made you a better father or husband?

Being a better person for me, means being a better father, husband, brother, son, a member of my community, and the role of my formal education in this area is pretty negligible.

I never looked at a very educated person, and though what a good person. If he was a good person it seemed in spite of his education. Most of the people that I see as remarkably good people, tend not to be all that educated.

Never have I looked at a good kid, and thought if only I send my kids to the school they went to, would they turn out to be just as good. Whatever good qualities they posses, their remarkable moral character, seems to be a product of things that are in spite of their education.
