The idea of education as a tool for employment is sickening.
I believe in education for the sake of education, the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom above all things. It is the purpose of education to fill an empty mind with an open one, and not to produce employment drones, manufactured to serve other people.
One of the biggest mistakes with today’s education is that it is constantly sold with the image of “study for employment” and this is wrong. Maybe it would be better to cut out the middleman and have burger flipping lessons or to have classes on how to please your boss more effectively?
Shakespeare out, burger flipping in. I’m sure that would please many people, but forgive me if I am not one of them.
