Does not the educational process include the ability to pursue knowledge for the entirety of one's life?

There are lots of people who have accomplished great things and been highly successful that do not have college degrees. There are also those with college degrees who have spent their life being mediocre workers and having mediocre success. For every person who is college degreed that is successful, I am sure that you can show me someone who is successful that has none.
HOWEVER.... the statistics show that those who are college educated on AVERAGE make more.... It pays..... it just does.

There is nothing wrong IMO with reinventing the wheel if you enjoy the exercise. Some might consider it a waste of time, some might argue that great minds are wasted on ideas that have already been considered for centuries, but I'm not so sure. I find thinking and developing ideas to be a reward in itself... Though it is sometimes a disappointment to find that others have been there before me. My education is not perfect and there is still more stuff I don't know than I do know, and that frustrates me as well, though I'm hoping to go back and further my education. The point I'm making is that in order to know what it is you don't know, one needs education. One needs study. IMHO I find a large amount of arrogance in the people who actually know the least. Those with education are full of doubt because they have a clear understanding of their own ignorance on so many issues once they have studied a few subjects deeply.

I am looking forward to the next wave of online college education... Instead of lectures they create something interactive and immersive. That will be the killer app. Whoever develops that will be RICH!!

There seems to be a disturbing trend to regard ignorance as if it were a virtue. That is not the attitude that created the world’s greatest nation but it is certainly one that will promote our decline.

I suffer on both sides of it. I see uninformed or unskilled suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability much higher than is. As a manager or leader I will at times assume wrong that tasks which are easy for some of us are also easy for others. It gets a bit crazy for me to face people standing firm and not realizing their limitations or ineptitude. The other side is my assumption that people around me possess more knowledge. The craziest of all is when I catch self or associates quiet or reserved because of what we know, therefore question or study, and them have the ignorant think that makes us the idiots.

Closer to topic, I was a lot worse about my opinions and opening my pie hole prior to getting my college degree and advanced tech certifications that were not easy for me to achieve.
