Education is a pursuit on its own...as we have discussed before, I think
there is far more use for education than learning a trade.
Education isn't a singular pursuit. Foremost is the need for an
education, professional or vocational, in order to be self sufficient,
earn a living, provide for a family, be a contributing member of society
and not be dependent on everyone else for survival. The need for this
level of education is drilled into every kid's head at a young age.
Then there's education for pleasure and intellectual curiosity. That's
secondary.
