I don't value education as much as I value continued learning and intellect.

There is a slight distinction between the two, but a VERY noticeable difference in the people who value one or the other.

I'm sad to say that many people who value education only value the ideals of education. If I asked someone at my university honestly what useful information they have obtained through their degree they might start listing off the courses they took and their grades or they might say we learned how to do this and that, but if I had them actually do it or show me, they couldn't. They forgot, memorized and erased, didn't care, or never fully understood to begin with. I might ask what was your favorite speech or essay you delivered and they typically don't remember any.

This isn't to trick or undermine anyone of their education, but the problem here is that we value the egoism and eliteness of academia so much more than the knowledge and wisdom and it shows. People nowadays are so ready to flash their PhD as the proof or reasoning for their argument rather than having an actual argument. It's scary that we live in a world where I ask someone something about their field and they say "I have a degree, that proves I know enough."

Obviously this isn't everyone, but you're kidding yourself if you don't think this is most people. I see this far too often where people have no ambitions, don't care about or enjoy their field but take comfort in their high grades because they must be doing something right. Then they graduate and find themselves feeling empty because good grades didn't map to happiness or even acquiring a job.

Someone who cannot challenge their own means of success, learning, beliefs, etc. stunts their ability to grow, change, and progress. Most wisdom comes from being able to test and question our values and beliefs so that we can improve them and affirm or change them.

This may be highly anecdotal, but I'm seeing more and more people getting into small business, entrepreneurship, undergoing psychoanalysis and more and I'm excited to see this continue and progress.

By the way I understand doctors need to study what they study so they don't accidentally kill people etc. I understand that many fields it is crucial to have an in-depth education, but I'd like to think that realistically in most it isn't. It's a lot more about what you're interested in, the kind of passion that will empower you to learn and seek out so much more knowledge and information than sitting through lectures for 4 years everyday.
