The objective of my education....

I am on the verge of completing my B. Com(Hons) degree. Some folks feel proud about me. But I feel awful. This degree is merely a piece of paper. A paper which I cannot even sell it to the local radiwala.
So I decided to reflect back at my past. Because I wanted the reasons. The reasons were obvious. My education system was just wasn't good enough. I was trained to by heart things like a parrot. Even if I tried and went through the concepts, It was always from examination point of view. Maybe we all did the same. The history was too localized only on India(compare this to America where they are taught about teachings of Mahatma Gandhi) at a very young age. Also, what I could see was that the education system does not work on the practical aspects at all! But I will be wrong to blame the system!

No matter what my education system was but I just never questioned it. I just studied gravity, and took it for granted... No matter how many apples or bananas fell from the tree, it didn't affect me. I had an open mind, but no application. Knowledge becomes wisdom only when you use it.

People who have been to IITs and IIMs say to others who haven't been to these premier institutions, you haven't been properly trained. What they teach at an IIT or an IIM is simple, think logically and do the basic things right. Also, They are trained at practical work and actual work situations!
I am no Copernicus to give the world Heliocentrism, but I finally realized without the slightest doubt in my mind that as Robert M. Hutchin puts it,

“The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives.”
