they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to

provide manpower for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society. Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you will be occupationally dead unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison, and you can successfully dropout in grade school. Get a college degree, if possible. With a B.A., you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go n his General and Natural Natural and General his n joy from.

Except you will face a dim future. There are more Ph.D.s unemployed or underemployed in this
