Hope Your Education Pays The Bills

In our high school math class we suspected that we would never need at least 90% of what our math teacher was teaching us, though he kept warning us that our lives would tank if we didn't pass trigonometry.

Well, our suspicions were 100% correct, and our teacher, bless his good heart, was all wrong. All of my friends are getting along in life just fine, and, in 2.5 decades, we haven't run into a trig problem this side of the math class.

As big as I am on education, what I'm really steamed about is how little classroom instructions have in common with what happens in the real world. It is my strong opinion that formal education must always be relevant outside of class. Education must always answer the question, "Education for what?". Learning and life should intersect.

This advice may come too late for this year's graduates, but here it is anyway: Discover how you are designed and what your dreams are. Then tailor your education to your goals in life.
