I think it is more to do with what's more important. If the end of the world as we know it does come soon, who wants to say, "Wow, amn't I glad I studied for seven years to be a lawyer, then another seven at a junior position in the company, slogging day in day out, from 7 in the morning until 7 at night? Sure I had a fancy car and home, but it's all ashes now". From reading the previous posts some feel that unless you have a "higher" education, studying loading stress points on bridges, or how to programme computers, it's as if your brain and power of reason is somehow stunted and you will remain a Neanderthal. Where would we be if everyone wanted to be a doctor? Who would empty your bin? There are many honourable jobs a man can where he can live a simple life, feed his family and have self-respect. Education is a life-long experience, not simply confined to a few terms at university, perhaps studying a specialised subject. The world would be a better place if people simply learned good manners and cast off the cynicism and sarcasm. I don't think there is such a university course available.
