And I've noticed in my life that the ones that think they have a superior education, are usually the ones that can't learn they are wrong. Universities of higher education are turning out more arrogance than intelligence.I have noticed something over my life, people who are very smart in one field tend to think that makes them smart in other non-related fields. Like a technician I knew, a Wizard with an oscilloscope and a soldering iron who also thought he qualified as a builder. The structures he built were disasters but he kept at it, never connecting the dots? Teachers are the obvious example, oh they are so smart, but basically they just regurgitate the same stuff they learnt in highschool, stuff we all know turned out to be near worthless in the real world. I knew a sales engineer too, he'd forgotten more than he'd learnt after 40 years in sales but was convinced he was a financial expert. The GFC took half his wealth, if it wasn't for the houses he'd bought idling away in the background he'd have a very ordinary retirement now.
Actual smart people seek counsel, safety in a multitude of counselors the old saying goes. Even when I'm working on a bike I like to have a buddy looking over my shoulder. I know more than him but he sees things I miss, like bolting a coil pack on before I screw down all the other parts and put the airbox on. He saved me half an hour that night
Fortunes are being wasted on college degrees.
