Education

I actually think we oftentimes confuse skills and skills development with education. And education is actually designed to actually encourage the individual to consider questions they hadn't considered before, to actually be able to assemble a vast array of information and then to synthesize that information and to come up with perhaps what one would think of as new answers. It's not about learning the most recent technique. And the challenge is that if you only talk about skills development, the way knowledge is produced these days, a generation is 18 months. And so that means by the time you've actually finished school, oftentimes you're already behind the curve and some of that information is obsolete. If you're really truly educated, you then learn and you know how to go about pursuing the new acquisition of information. And that information that you can then synthesize and apply to what you already know means then that you're not behind the curve. You're keeping pace with the change that's always occurring in both in technology and other aspects of American life.
