yeah, but many employers give a flying about what you get out of said institutions :) |

| Yes. Burn the institution, eat the employer, steal the money. |

| Because being #2 in your class just makes you the #1 loser. |

| so that when you get out of college you can get a , underpaid, slightly unrelated job, but not as bad as the jobs the people that didn't get a degree got |

I get bored. So I read. Sometimes I like to write about stuff.
Honestly I have so many ideas going through my head, that I like to get it out and organize my thoughts. I did this leading up to 2006 or so.
Now I have some MAJOR projects I've been developing, both in my head and text. |

Money. Bitches. Power.
What's this pursuit of knowledge crap I keep hearing about? I'm just a pedant. The world loves pedants. That's why I study ivory tower that is absolutely useless to the 'real world,' son. F your bridges, health, and businesses.

I don't think I will ever get tired of browsing through my old books eventhough I'm done with school. I enjoy taking courses and seminars , I look at them as a fine tuning of something that I perform everyday on a regular basis . |

^this.
the more you discipline yourself, the more unlimited you become.
Personally, I won't be able to spend my life doing what I love without lots of schooling. |

| no education (not necessarily in school!) -> lesser critical thinking ability -> less chance that you'll have your way with the world and more chance that it will have its way with you. There are other important aspects to empowering yourself and creating opportunities to do what you want in life, like the ability to take risks and act in spite of fear, the ability to communicate effectively, etc. But if you're not a sharp thinker and a lifelong learner, I don't think you'll get very far. |
