If there is one thing that always gets to me, it's when people put education equal to intelligence.
Now I've a pretty high IQ and I don't brag about things that I don't have, and I've never even as much as finished my secondary school - because education there was not good enough to my standards.
that would make you think, if standards are so low - and the standards here are said to be some of the highest in Europe - and people can get their certs with no problem, what use does education still have?
I am currently enrolled back into secondary school (home schooling because I work for a living) just because it is impossible for me to get a better job, regardless of my intelligence, without a degree of any sort!
Would you rather hire someone with brains without a degree or an eejit with a degree? If I was an employer my choice would have been easily made.
But employers still go for the education, blissfully unaware they hire eejits as well.
Is education not overrated?
