The folly of institutionalised learning

A father was overheard teaching giving his teenage son some advice about education.
Father: You must study hard, son.
Son: Why?
Father: Well, so that you can go to the university someday.
Son: For what?
Father: So you can earn a degree and then go out to the world with a good job.
Son: Why would I need a good job?
Father: So you’ll make more money.
Son: If education is all about making money, I might as well learn to make it now.


The folly of institutionalized learning.

Albert Einstein once said: The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education
