I currently have re-exams .. I thought I'd motivate myself a bit by hearing why others find education so important :)

Thanks for your input!

Education schooling degrees are all conditioning to make you a good tax paying cog in the system, find something you're passionate about and study it, do an apprenticeship, that will lead to true fullfillment in life also you will be good at it as your focusing all your energy and knowledge capacity at this one subject.

An educated person can usually more easily start a conversation with a hot girl,discuss many subjects., and impress the hot girl. A good conversationalist can usually convince hot girls to go to bed with them. Accordingly, an educated guy gets laid more often

I'd love to become an expert in finance. But my study course also has "insurances" and "taxes" in it. And I F-cking hate those exams/courses!

What? Really?

I see the exact opposite thing. Those caveman-guys who just fuck whatever breaths.. :p
Most nerds are very smart people, a lot smarter than me :) but they don't get any girls. I try to balance myself :D

Being a caveman with brains!

Um...what?
Being educated has nothing to do with talking to girls. Trust me, it doesn't help.

In your face
So you can do the job that you want to do and not have to settle, to provide a nice life for you and whatever family you may have, and so that you'll be on here less if you're studying more.

I guess I should have qualified my statement to "attract hot and intelligent girls worth starting a meaningful relationship with." Most cavemen can easily get a one night stand with a bimbo.

Knowledge is power. Just as in having a big penis is a zero sum benefit so is having education a zero sum benefit. An underendowed math nerd who spits when he talks to girls is not going to get laid; but if he wasn't a math nerd he isn't going to get paid either.

True personal excellence is well rounded.

Stay away from Cult's dogmas. Gender Studies, Ethnic Studies, Non Biological Anthro and Soc. Stick with the hard sciences, language, and the arts. After that comes practical degrees (social work) and the humanities. The soft sciences are worthless and dead.

Knowledge is also not wrapping your dick in tin and/or aluminum foil and sticking it in an electrical socket...and that's about the opposite of power.

First thing you have to know about education is: education isn't knowledge. I'm not saying you won't learn a thing, but the most stupid people I have ever encountered were on the college. They barely passed the exams, they're brainwashed petty souls getting of when you flunk. Students aren't much better either.

Why should you study? For yourself. And don't just study the stuff you have on college, you can learn useful stuff all around you.

Also:

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. - Robert A. Heinlein

I was the finance manager of a small company and among other responsibilities, I was responsible for maintaining proper and affordable business and personal insurance for the company and it's employees. Proper tax planning is also necessary to keep the bottom line in the black.

Education fosters knowledge which fosters employment and promotion.
