You've seen some evidence, posted by others, of a few of my

The formal education racket is not for everyone, but
education is nearly free, requiring only time, diligence and
access to a few used book stores.

 
Krygowski is right when he says I could never be a college professor
because I have no patience for people who say, "Teach me what you
think I should know," rather than "this is what I want to know, help
me to learn it."
 
Similarly, I walked away from college (so very glad that I did)

not nearly as glad as they were

At this point in his life, I suspect that there's very little chance
that Junior will ever begin acting like an adult...

because they told me they were going to teach me what *they* thought I
should know.

Yes, exactly, Child, and that's why I stopped signing up for their
courses and began pursuing my education on my own, which led
eventually to a successful career, all the time supporting myself
(nice 3 br, 2 bath home in the suburbs) and having sole custody and
providing 100% support of my two kids. That was, of course, only the
beginning.
