1. There are two kinds of education
Edited on Sun Dec-19-04 02:11 AM by Maple
One you get in school that gives you a little piece of paper with your credentials on it, and the kind you get yourself by reading, thinking, and interfacing with the world.

They do NOT, at any time, in today's society, both happen in the same place.

Finish your formal education online. High school should be a breeze for you, or you can skip that and go straight on through university.

But you have to have that piece of paper. An IQ of 200 but without that paper...means you spend the rest of your life with menial work and no money. A 200 watt lightbulb is useless if it isn't plugged in.

What you NEED, internally, mentally, is what you do on your own.


On edit: sorry, I never remember when posting to an American site that our educational systems are different. In Canada, a college is a trade school. Most people go on to university after high school. Then grad school for a Masters and above.
