I love the way you said, "A degree might give you knowledge, but wisdom is applied knowledge."
In this modern era, people are so obsessed with obtaining a college degree. I don't understand why I need to go to college when I could become an expert in any field just by typing on a keyboard.
In fact, many institutions seem to reinforce the idea that we can't succeed without a college degree. When you attend college, it often feels like you're being conditioned to become a more compliant worker.
I truly appreciate your writing; your insights are thought-provoking and resonate deeply with me. Your ability to articulate such important ideas is impressive, and it inspires me to think critically about the traditional paths we're often urged to follow. Thank you for sharing your perspective!
Neon, I truly appreciate your comment. It is my belief that others are so obsessed with obtaining a college degree, because it is all about MONEY and the system has convinced the masses that in order to be 'successful' you have to go get a piece of paper. The reality of the situation (from my pov) is that:
1. Unless you are majoring in something that will allow you to make enough to pay back the possible debt that you (i.e. STEM, Medical, Lawyer, etc.) then a 4 year plus degree isn't worth it in the long run. I have personally told others, if you want to make money with the least amount of debt, go to a trade school or a school of specialization.
2. If a person wasn't an "academic" or they "hated school", please do not go into debt trying to go get a degree that someone else wants you to have.
3. People have to start using discernment and follow their hearts! As you stated, you can now become an expert in any field just by typing on a keyboard. This is so true! These are think outside the box times!
Many institutions reinforce the idea that you can't succeed without a college degree, because how would they make MONEY if they didn't!? hahahahaha
I appreciate your comment, support, and taking the time to connect with post! I ran up to the mountains for some time to self! I look forward to diving into your new posts and interacting with your wisdom soon! Love you right back!
