Sometimes schools get hung up on qualifications and job-seeking. But we shold be educating ourselves every day of our lives.

I started off as a computer programmer, and so my <I>credentials</I> from university were considered <I>very</I> relevant to my first employer... and then never again (work experience them trumped ancient school records)!<BR/><BR/>One of the lessons I picked up in university, though, that I think would've helped me in <B>whatever</B> occupation I might've ended up in, was the one about being in charge of my own life. Unlike any of the schooling I'd gotten before that point, at university it was all up to me: no one was picking my courses for me, no one was taking attendance to see if I showed up for lectures, and no one gave a shit if I passed my exams or not! Suddenly, for the first time in my life, I realized that my success or failure was entirely in my own hands.. and I <I>loved</I> it! Those were formative years that pretty much dictated the way I've lived my life ever since. That alone was worth the tens of thousands of dollars it cost me and the government of Ontario!Kimota94 aka Matt aka AgileManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00404161474780005815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-23834674530940325882007-07-21T08:09:00.000-05:002007-07-21T08:09:00.000-05:00Tita: Eddie's already a Simpsons Character.

After a while all of this nonsense should really be as meaningless as it was in the first place (but don't let your kids see this). <BR/>Still: I see plenty of people sticking to certificates of formal education as if school (or university) was a life saver when in fact it does not even teach you to fend for yourself.<BR/>And don't get me started on how bloody useless some teachers can be, please.spacedlawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12462723005560128474noreply@blogger.com
