Nice article. More and more I hear people say we don't need formal education. There is a part of me that agrees with that, but with the caveat "did you ever?" Every student has to ask themselves why they are pursuing the education that that are. For a career? For self-development? To please parents? I myself am happy for the formal education I have, but I am the first to tell people they should only pursue it if they know WHY they are pursuing it.
