Parents worry about the cost of education. They have to plan, if they’re smart, to spend thousands and even hundreds of thousands of dollars to educate their offspring. Sometimes students take out loans that have to be repaid after graduation. The point is that education is expensive. But the cost of schools is cheap compared to the education that comes with life.
I’m a firm believer that school proves one has the ability to learn. Advanced degrees demonstrate that one has the ability to learn a lot. The operative word is ‘ability’ to learn. That doesn’t mean that any person with a college degree will learn outside the classroom.
The whole education process is supposed to be designed to get someone off to a good start in a particular field with at least some knowledge of that field. However, as someone once said, "In school you get the lesson and then you take the test. In life, you take the test and then get the lesson." And, that’s really expensive.
It’s cheaper just to stay in school all your life.
