Education and Learning should be a lifelong mission. We should educate our minds on as much truth as possible. Universities used to be a good place to continue our education, but are they still? For doctors, lawyers, scientists, etc. there is no getting around a college indoctrination… um, I mean – education.

College itself isn’t an investment, just one way of increasing your value.
