here is a thought for the day what is education? schooling? a degree in your hands for a lucrative career? what is the point of education ulitmately? earn money? really? become a thinker? an analyst? a human being? what do we, or have we in the past, think we will receive from our degree? what is teh difference between schooling, (even at a higher insitute of learning) and education? what does it mean to be 'educated'? can an illetrate person be 'educated'? fyi, just a thought, not an essay i have to work on.
