I think the education system of our world is broken!! people should only study what is necessary for living (Grade School) and they should choose themselves if they want to learn the rest!!
The society shouldn't force us to study things that won't help us in what we want to do in life, being forced to learn won't make you learn it properly. everyone is different and they shouldn't be thought by the same system!!
But there's one thing I disagree with you in:
you know cause like everything revolves around money and the whole reason you studying is to educate yourself to make a better standard of living. But even education requires alot of money.
Any money spent on Education (and Health) is not lost money at all~ I know I said we should only learn what we want. but we shouldn't avoid spending money on learning it!!
Its true The system is broke....I think we shouldnt spend money at all for education ,it should be free like in Germany,knowledge shouldn't come at a price ...but that is alot to ask for at the moment,in South Africa lol
