Everyone does have a right to make a living. That's not a problem. But the whole issue had me thinking. Why does everyone insist on the university so much? It's not for everyone. And it doesn't necessarily guarantee one's wisdom or financial stability. I know of a couple of people who either didn't finish or never went to college for a degree and are doing reasonably well after going to a trade school. Not rich, but they're doing fine with a nice house and two cars.
Wanting to learn is understandable, but then we have to learn the right stuff. And in these times, what we need to learn isn't necessarily found in a leftist campus of "higher" learning. And we should go to college for the right reasons, too. I know there's more to it than that, but from what I've seen personally, I agree with the assessment that college education has been overrated. And we don't even here a peep about vocations to the priesthood or religious orders. Isn't that a great way towards proper learning and proper formation? An honorable way to live, also.
Someone had once said that a woman who decided to persue a religious vocation was twice a woman. Or something along those lines. . .
Well that's true, but unless one has an aptitude for business or a trade then they are out of luck. It's difficult to get a good paying job without a college degree, particularly for a woman who isn't into manual labor.
BTW, you ever try crawling around the back of an ambulance in a scrub dress? The paramedics seem to get a kick out of watching it. So much for modesty.

Are you implying that just because a woman has not married she should enter a convent? I'd make a lousy nun and I haven't given up on getting married despite all the predictions of the doom and gloom crowd. The religious life is a calling and I don't have it.
