Book smarts or street smarts?
May 9, 2008 - 01:24 PM

In your opinion, how relevant is a high school/college education versus the 'university of life'? Is one more important than the other, or are they both equally integral to a whole and rounded education?

Is obtaining a post secondary education a motivation based on personal interest, to further your knowledge and develop your intellect, or do/would you attend college or university with the main purpose of having a safe base on which to launch a career, obtain a steady job, or to have a better of chance of being financially independent sooner rather than later?

Just some things to think about! Let me know your thoughts.
