Education to me is the application of learning to use the mind better. Certainly there is specific knowledge but to me usually that is secondary as that can be gained by a capable mind.


Decently educated and well rounded in general compose a strong package when it comes to getting along in this world. The greatest waste of my time is to observe all the intellect in many of the young people that I work with. Yet they cannot seem to apply it. Something is defeating it in my opinion.


Paying or borrowing a fortune for an education is a good example of not applying the mind or intellect well. There are many ways to reduce the cost of post secondary education with some mental application by the individual.
