As far as I can see in my life, education is important but life experience is beyond education. I respect a person based on their experience regardless their education background. I have a degree and quite proud of it for some time, but after I enter the work field despite all the studies that I have done, only contributes little portion in working zone.
Experience is what matter. Its a learning process of life.

I agree. Life experiences countribute determines how a person perceive things and higher education is just part of that. Basically people around me all go to colleges or graduate school but that doesn't necessarily means we have things shared in common.Some people lack common senses or proper family education, which cannot be made up only by a diplome. To me, the attractive part of higher education is that I could conduct some real, serious researches in the areas which I'm interested in under the professional guidings. But that's just the very beginning in a field of study. That's all. Of course you can study in depth anything I like by yourself, making your own discoveries. And for work, higher degree allowes you greater oppotunity, that's for sure as employers need some crieteria for elegibility, but once you really get to work, being a quick learner and a people person weighes much more the the degree.

A person who has a master degree can know very little when the subject of life comes up. To be clever I do not think that someone must be having a master degree. Experiences in life also plays an important role to determine if someone is intelligent or not.
I am a future lawyer but there are many things in life which are still unknown to me so if I am sent in the forest then the animals will be more intelligent than me because firstly I don't know their rule and secondly I will take much time to think if I am faced with a danger in the jungle.
So intelligence is not only in books but in life also. One becomes clever by reading, experiences and challenges.

I know a few people with bachelor's and master's degrees. I personally have the "equivalent" of an associates degree. And, I can honestly say, they are some of the stupidest people I have ever met. I really have no clue how they managed to graduate from a college. But then, I have no clue what their GPA was either, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was very low. Money can't buy brains nor common sense for that matter. And, sadly I really believe a college degree shows you had the time and the money to do it. If I had the time and money, I'd have a phD :)

I am not around people who have a higher education that what I have. We all graduated high school or got our GED. Some of us are smarter than the other person is though.

A friend of mine always says anybody can get degree, they basically give them out these days it is how you use it that matters.
