quote:
ORIGINAL: popeye1250 Elisabella, correct, they don't value intelligence and learning, they value "degrees." Mark Twain said; "I never let my schooling get in the way of my education. I was actually thinking of the people who never made it to tertiary education...the gangstas and the rednecks and the teen moms and the kids who can tell you Justin Beiber's date of birth but not when Pearl Harbor was attacked. There's nothing wrong, IMO, with putting emphasis on a degree as proof of professional training...but when these professionals can't stand the thought of reading for leisure, something is wrong.
