Big_John: Yes I would. Formal education does not ensure you are smart or know anything. I have known college educated people who are dumber than rocks. I also know people who have no formal education past high school and are far smarter than the average person.
So formal education means nothing to me.
hi sorry your wrong, college students are very intelligent that is why they got into university in the first place, they have to work very hard to get there and pass exam as such. Now to say an 18 year old is stupid becuase they do not know much about life, is basically saying the old adage, my university is the university of life. Of course you get people who have had no education who are extremely intelligent, but are stuck in their lives etc. Most college kids are nieve about life, they are not stupid, its just comes across that way sometimes. I know a couple of guys at university and to look at they are were stupid in a sense they did not know much about life, but they were kids, first time leaving home and gues what they left university with honours.
When i was growing up, people around me said only stupid people go to university and i said lol only stupid people do not.
lets face it if u have a university education you have massives more skills that 90% of the population, on average, they can learn quicker and absorb massive amounts of informationm and write tons of stuff in a short time. I was doing an english course that was advance level and the tutor said you can tell the ones who have been to university, and the ones who have not. It does mean the ones who have not been are stupid its just they have not got the skill set or the mind training.
