omg - haven't read much of the responses, but will just plug in my personal.....was a bright kid....honors society, slated for college......oh no, can't do that.....might have sex or end up believing in evolution. stuck in a miserable situation....frustrated and resentful. tried to pioneer and failed...took courses here and there for the intellectual stimulation, really had nothing to go on..................
much much later....after leaving the org....at a very late date in my personal schematic, enrolled in a degree program. am only a few credits away from the degree and plan to go ahead into a masters program. my brain at last has the stimulation it requires, and my job prospects - while i am in a decent situation, my brain is not being used as it should be.....so..............i truly hate and abhor the negative stance this particular group of people have put on higher education. it is totally unproductive, stupid, and destructive.
end of rant.
