Education

I've been thinking a lot about education lately.  In my opinion there are a lot of misconceptions.  Every once in awhile some school will announce a 16 year old graduate.  What a waste of an education.  Education is more than just factoids, but an opportunity to work out the muscle between your ears.  Why would you want to rush through school?  Jobs stink.  The average person goes through 7-8 jobs in their lifetime.  It would be more advantageous to learn how to learn and prepare yourself for job skills than to hop around from job to job.  Most of the learning that occurs is on job.  So what is the point of an education?  It helps you learn faster and more effectively.  Plus learning how to learn will transfer with you to any job field, while job specific skills will not.  I really do not like it when students say the have gotten their GE's out of the way or that they seek for easy classes.  What a waste.  Not every student who graduates received a quality education.
