18. Education: Losing its Value 
Today, it seems to be universally accepted that increased education is a good thing. 
Thousands of colleges and millions of students spend vast amounts of time and money 
chasing pieces of paper. But what is the value of these qualifications? This essay will 
discuss whether education has been devalued.
Supporters of education (usually teachers or educators, or those who have an interest in 
stopping people thinking for themselves) say that increased levels of education will open 
doors for students. Certificates, diplomas, and degrees are held up as a status symbol, a 
passport to a private club of money and power.
However, the truly powerful are not those who have taken degrees, but people who have 
stood back and looked at what is really important in life. They have seen opportunity and 
followed dreams. These people are found in every part of society. Like many brilliant 
people, Einstein was a weak student at math. Like many successful businessmen, Bill 
Gates never completed college. Like many inventive and creative people, Edison never 
went to school. The greatest religious teachers do not have letters after their name, but 
have looked into their hearts for meaning. Similarly, the world’s political leaders do not 
have master’s degrees or doctorates. These are the people who shaped our century, and 
they are too busy with real life to spend time in the paper chase.
Students in college are being sold an illusion. They are made to believe that self-
understanding and society approval will come with the acquisition of a piece of paper. 
Instead of thinking for themselves, and finding their own personality and strengths, they 
are fitted like square pegs into round holes.
The role of education is to prepare masses of people to operate at low levels of ability in a 
very limited and restricted range of activities. Some of these activities are more 
challenging than perhaps the assembly lines of the past, but still the ultimate purpose is 
equally uninteresting. More worryingly, despite the increased level of education, people 
are still not genuinely expected to think for themselves. In fact, the longer years of 
schooling make the job of brainwashing even easier.
There is still a role for study, research, and education. However, we need to examine our 
emphasis on education for the sake of a piece of paper, and to learn the real meaning 
and revolutionary challenge of knowledge.
