Are you serious???

Unless you know someone personally or someone posts their CV and lists their experience with every conversation (in both real life or on the internet), you are basing their credibility on how they present their answers.

I'm not sure why you seemed to think I was implying that labourers and those who aren't in academia aren't important/stupid... It sounds like you are making the assumption that education is for white collar pencil-pushers or the bourgeois. So if I have a 'blue collar' job I can't be educated, because if I was I would 'know better' than to have that kind of job? Don't try to put words in my mouth... I've done/still do my share of hard work, how do you think I pay for food, rent, aquariums, education

I made the comment on career path, because I can't see any person going through their life talking like a 12 year old. Success is relative though. Defending the inability to articulate yourself doesn't make much sense.

I just think about all the people in countries worse off than mine, that would give anything to be educated. I remember reading about kids in Afghanastan that risked their lives to go to school, and villagers would stand outside the building guarding it. Yet here we are in so-called "developed countries", *****ing about school and our hard luck.

I guess it is just an example of people being spoiled and not realizing the amazing opportunities they have, because they have never been exposed to different realities.

We are in a new age... in many countries, education is available to everyone as well as clean drinking water, good infrastructure, food quality, etc. These are things we no longer think of as luxuries, but in many places they still are.

I'm big on education because a lot of my family didn't have these opportunities, and I just think there is no excuse for choosing ignorance (actively or passively) when the answers are out there. It may just be spelling and grammar, but it represents more to many people. Some people think this kind of thread is lame, but education is something I'm passionate about. It is what separates us from the animals; hey I love animals, but I also love intensely abstract thought and the examined life.

(like I said, on MFK, that stuff doesn't bother me )

I'm stuck in a modern day Hatfield & McCoy situation. I am a yuppy by all means. Born and raised by a yuppy family; private schools my whole life. Lived in a 6,000 sq. ft home and had be the top of the town. Fast forward 15-20 years..... My GF is from small town Indiana/Kentucky. Great family, but in a completely different class and social structure. I can't even understand what her mom says half the time. No one has phones, everyone works at factories. It's a different world.
Can't wait for the wedding and when the families meet!
