Education is not a substitute for intelligence. I have seen many young sirs, with degrees, that were long on book learning, but very short on common sense. This seems to be a trend that I am seeing more and more, these days. Tell me how someone who lived with Mom and Dad while they paid for his education and otherwise shielded him from the harsh realities of life, is somehow smarter than the rest of us?
The only thing a Bachelors degree proves is that you can organize your time effectively and that you can regurgitate whatever your profs are saying. That's it. Give me a platoon full of intelligent, under-educated farm boys, rather than highly 'educated' theoreticians who spend all their time looking for a "better" (read 'less demanding') way of doing things.
