| It makes me sick when people put down others because of their level of education. I also find it extremely funny when I realize that half of the English majors in the world, from Harvard, Princeton, and Yale, English majors with full scholarships and grants, are going to wind up working in fast food joints for the rest of their lives. I once knew a woman who went to Tulane University on full scholarship. Now she's thirty-four, works at a burger place, and frequents S&M bars whenever she's got the time off. I know several people, who have dropped out before even finishing their junior year of high school and make enough money to feed a small country for a year. Somewhere along the way, society has corrupted us into thinking that schooling equals intelligence. I think that's the biggest heap of bullshit I've ever heard in my life. Some of the most intelligent people I've ever known in my life were high school dropouts or attend third-tier universities. The best writer I know is now newly unemployed and drinking keg beer in his apartment. And, for that matter, some of the biggest idiots, dumbasses, jerks, and bastards are attending the best universities in the country right now. Princeton, Yale, Harvard. The type of people I wouldn't even so much as give the time of day to because they're just too boring to be around. Who cares if they can prove this or that? They've memorized it all from the math books anyway. I think it's sick when people judge someone over a piece of paper that has had less attention paid to its making than an ordinary bank check. I don't think that anyone should be forced to go to college. I don't think there's much in college outside of booze and sex. Some people might say: "Oh you learn about organic chemistry" or "Oh you learn how to write." Well Jesus, if you wanted to learn about organic chemistry, then pick up a book at the library. If you wanted to learn how to write, then give it up, because there's no point in even learning if you don't know how at eighteen-years-old already. The more I attend college, the more I've become convinced that it is merely the coming together of many exceptionally mediocre people who try to override the averageness of their lives with diplomas and titles. It's also interesting to point out that the most memorable people have never entered or finished college. Edgar Allen Poe. William Blake. William Shakespeare. John Milton. F. Scott Fitzgerald. Jack Kerouac. All of The Beatles. George Washington. And yet, look at who we study so vigorously in college. Shakespeare, Milton, Fitzgerald, Kerouac, Blake, Poe. One could possibly say that we go to college to worship people who had the sense, the passion, and the talent to forego college. In other words, we go to college to study 'idiots,' people without 'education.' And people say that dropouts are worthless, shallow, stupid. But what is worthlessness but to be forgotten as soon as the dirt on your grave settles? What is shallowness but to care only for money for as long as your heart beats? And what is stupidity but jealousy towards those who aren't as worthless and stupid as yourself? |

| I determine intelligence by output, not input. What sort of insane purpose is there to retaining an astronomical scoop of information is all you ever apply it to is dinnertime debates and unload all of it in a nursing home? Bill Gates, no post secondary. Loaded and loading. Adolf Hitler, rejected from art academy twice, orchestrated the execution of six million Jews. Master orator. No academic setting harvested these masterminds, they channeled their goods and damn well. By the way, I'd love to get your AIM handle if available; you and I seem to share common ground on a lot of philosophies, cheers. Email it, would you? |

| Everytime I visit your site, there's always something interesting. I think schooling = sign of endurance... 12 years.... |

| I don't agree with that entirely, I know plenty of people who are sitting on their asses and don't go to school simply because their lazy, and they work making little money. However I don't exactly live near you either, so maybe it doesn't count. Either way, I guess the world is a big place with lots of different people. |

| It's just one of the hypocritical things society is built on - after all has been preached and much debated about, this is how ugly people are. It's kind of immature really but it never seems to change. How does a piece of paper make someone more valuable as a human being, I'll never be able to fathom. Or maybe it's better to be ignorant of such things. |

| My friend Melissa isn't planning to go to college, but she's one of the funniest, cleverist people I know. And not only that, but I was talking to a senior in my math class who got in to UCLA, and she could not be more stupid and boring if she tried. |

| how coincidentally that my tcr was talking about that too. They look down on "stupid" people who are defined as those who didnt complete theri education but they fail to realise that many tycoons were "stupid". So were some entrepenuers and famous people. The world sucks with such concept. They judge you by your education or status. I agree so much on this post. Rock on, love your entries. |

| I am an eighteen-year-old college student who is currently attending the University of Virginia. I enjoy reading, writing, intelligence, and sarcasm. My goals in life include being a successful swindler, a professional liar, and maybe someone you could bring home to meet mom with. More? |
