The point of an education is not to make money. The point of an education is to cultivate yourself and make yourself a better person. Idiot is the wrong word, but philistine is appropriate.

Well having been through plenty of formal education, I can assure you the point of education is to make uniformly cut cogs and make teachers and universities money.

If you don't turn the same way as everyone else or risk your university's funding by having an opinion or a better idea than the status quo, you're no longer entitled to an education.

University for me was an exercise in cock sucking rather than education and that was a UK red brick.

Attending school is not the only way to cultivate yourself and make yourself a better person; knowledge is vast and free.
