Re: Education
i think formal education is great if you have the time and means to pursue it. it can aid in personal development and may also help you get a better job. but it doesnt make you a superior human being. in alot of conversations a persons formal education comes up to calculate their superiority. a formal education can be useful though...it can help u meet like minded individuals and friends and even spouses at educational institutions. it can take you to different countries and force you to study subjects you never knew you would find interesting.
surely that is not the only advantage of formal education, it helps you become a more useful member of society and help usher in change..new techniques, technology, you would not have scholars, scientists, physicians, .. engineers and technologists coming up with things to help folks, business folks would not be coming up with processes and approaches to make a science of supply chain management or customer relationship management, of financing and funding options etc etc etc.
education of basic rights, laws and procedures IS essential and everyone should have access to this sort of education.
dont forget health and hygiene.
