If the majority of people that post have some college or less, then how essential is formal education? Is it worth it to have that piece of paper at
such a high monetary cost when you can just educate yourself?
Is college necessary to think critically?

formal education is perhaps the easiest path to opportunities.
Being born rich would be better.
industrious and motivated next best
but formal education being the easiest of the three.
...very hard to achieve social status without it...if that is important to you.
Doctor's and Lawyer's can't practice their trade without it. (today)
...native intelligence vs. formal education? (perception wins)
...look how many people that responded, took offense or made justifications or....let me put it this way...it was like you asked a group of men the
size of their "manhood" you would have the braggers and then you would have the; "well, its how you use it that matters". But most people
responding made some type of rationalization rather than just say..."here is my education or lack there of."
How many, "ok, I'll bite" starting statements did you read? Come on you Psychology majors, read all the posts and what do you come up with?
Me......"ok, I'll bite"......I'm 42....BA in Psychology/Sociology w/criminal justice emphasis and if I pass my Jurisprudence final tomorrow at
9am, I will be a semester away from my JD. (Juris Doctor) I am @ least in the bottom half of my class. I was a Security Guard (in one shape or form)
for 20 years. I have 7 kids and been married 3 times. I have had one A in law school and that was for Professional Ethics. I failed English in 8th
grade. I failed Abnormal Psychology in college and some History class. both because of attendance (see justification, rationalization, excuses)
I am lazy and a procrastanator and spell as good as a 5 year old.
I am a musical genius (if you literally go by what the standards of genius are) I can't be much above retarded in math.....All true. My pants lay
on the floor for all to appreciate or mock.
