Higher education helps us learn about things that are inherently worthwhile.<br /><br />For example, I know something about the history of the Russian language from my graduate education. None of that particular knowledge set, however, helps me perform better or earn more money as a Russian translator (my current profession). My skill with the current language is sufficient for that. Yet at the same time I feel empowered, meaning that my intellectual curiosity has been satisfied, to know how Russian evolved into the language that it is today.Kenny Cargillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698977164474735780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887611099343215170.post-9910741095468649572011-05-25T19:25:12.151-04:002011-05-25T19:25:12.151-04:00Good article! i like how you do relate car and edu...Good article! i like how you do relate car and education in a very conceptual way.<br /><br />Kenny ScottVehicle Signagehttp://www.pivotbanners.com.au/noreply@blogger.com
