Don't think of your courses as providing all you need for your career.

The best education I have ever received was through travel.

The best university is the university of life.

But to me the bottom line is the more education you can give yourself, and the more preparation you can do, the less chance of failing.

In general, higher education does not know how to speak for its interests. It offers a stance that is defensive, cowardly and likely to be ineffective.

I was never particularly academic, so it was no great surprise when I failed my 11-plus and consequently went to Wibsey Secondary Modern. I did all right in English, history and music, which were the subjects that most interested me.

Ensuring quality higher education is one of the most important things we can do for future generations.

The preparation I had in college was the most valuable.

The goal of higher education should be to champion the airing of all honest viewpoints. Nothing less is acceptable.

There's a reasonable amount of traction in college education, particularly engineering, because quite a lot of that is privatized, so there is an incentive to set up new colleges of reasonably high quality.
