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, AWW LOOK LOOK AWW 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 Jesus out out Jesus 31 32 for a master’s degree, make sure it is an M.B.A., and its famous law of diminishing returns 26 30 begins to take effect.
