having a degree just means you are really specialized in one area....it doesn't make you superior or above anyone else who doesn?t have a degree

I mean, it is ok if that person doesn't want to study, because they can still grow up to be great people, and quiet successful.? But are they right in putting down educated people or academic education as a concept? if you have been to school, or currently attend school, do you think your school is a waste of time? if it is, and you agree with the girl, then why are you wasting your time?? this is my point, I hope it is finally clear now![]()

I remember just a few months ago, and a few years ago, same posts about education and lack their of amongst our Assyrian teens, produced some very opposite replies from what we are reading now. Some people complained about 'why Assyrians are not educated or persuing a higher education...'
All of a sudden, education is now optional and not very important. Imagine what the kids or teens reading this post will think, or what 'good' example we are giving them. I opened a can of worms by opening this thread after all

There was this girl who wanted to have cybersex with me on AVN text chat. How low can you go.

True. I value a person for who they are as a person, rather than what they are as a product of educational institutions. Its a neutral thing for me really - if it makes them happy to go to university and learn then great, good for them. If not, thats great too. So long as they are happy with what they choose to do in life.
There is a difference between having pride in your education accomplishments and relying on them to make up for a lack of self-esteem/confidence... something that seems suprisingly common...
Heres a question for you people... What do you value most in your prospective partner? Their ability to bring success in monetary terms? Or their abilities to be a good parent, a good wife or husband, who genuinely loves you and supports you in all that you do? Regardless of what that may be?

My father was not formally educated, but he is quite intelligent and very sharp.? There are a multitude of reasons why people can't or don't pursue their education.? But simply wanting to learn is a valuable characteristic and should be appreciated.
