I don't look to find an educated person in the ranks of university graduates, necessarily. Some of the most educated people I know have never been near a university.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The notion that every well educated person would have a mastery of at least the basic elements of the humanities, sciences, and social sciences is a far cry from the specialized education that most students today receive, particularly in the research universities.
Highly educated young people are tutored, taught and monitored in all aspects of their lives, except the most important, which is character building. When it comes to this, most universities leave them alone.
The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead.
I never went to university. I'm self-educated. I didn't go because I was too impatient, too arrogant.
It is possible to get an education at a university. It has been done; not often.
Sometimes the ignorant are among the most educated.
An educated person is one who has learned that information almost always turns out to be at best incomplete and very often false, misleading, fictitious, mendacious - just dead wrong.
Universities used to prepare young adults for the real world. I dare say the graduates today go in without a clue and graduate without a clue. It's time to acknowledge the college degree is not worth what it was in the past. Times are changing, and so is the way we prepare our youth to survive in a competitive world.
There's a direct link between percentage of young people that are educated and how we live our lives.
In the world today, a young lady who does not have a college education just is not educated.
