A person’s level of education is an unreliable indicator of intelligence. It also doesn’t guarantee a person’s financial, personal, or emotional stability.
I was in line at a fast food place with my two kids, standing behind a man and woman and their young son who looked to be about 10 years old. The man stage-whispered into the boy’s ear, “See, this is why you“These people” were standing right there in front of him where they could easily hearThe implicit messages in this man’s advice to his son: We can assume no one behind the counter went to college. We can assume each of them are unhappy. They are beneath us, not worthy of our compassion.
This is intellectual elitism, and it’s gross. Nobody should judge or speak condescendingly to someone who has less formal education than they do. A person’s level of education is actually a terribly unreliable indicator of intelligence, and it also doesn’t guarantee a person’s financial, personal, or emotional stability. It doesn’t measure anything, really, except perhaps their privilege.to attend and do well at college, but they don’t have the resources to do so.
My sister and her husband are two supposedly “uneducated” people who kick ass at life at every possible metric. They’re whip-smart, happy, and fulfilled. None of the preceding is meant to suggest that going to college is useless. If your kid dreams of being an engineer like my son does, some college will be necessary. For many professions, some education beyond high school does provide a competitive edge. For many other professions, trade school is an excellent choice to provide a person with the necessary qualifications.
