I was having a discussion with a friend who thought that education was a a waste of time when you could look for ways to make money.He went on to mention successful people who didnt have college degrees like Michael Dell, Bill Gates , Richard Branson etc.Of course, we also know of people that are highly educated but live very ordinary lives.

We are all looking to earn a living but I feel that education broadens the mind into thinking in new ways.I would rather be educated and living on $60,000/yr than be a CEO, famous actress etc and be stinking rich.It is sometimes hard to have an intelligent discussion with someone with a narrow mind.

PS:I am not insinuating that every college grad is smart and vice versa.

What do you think?
