I was reading an article about cultivating information that you read, and immerse yourself in, and they had this little nugget in the article.  This quote defines how I’ve always viewed my education, going back to when I started High School.

I have always said I’d hire experience vs. book learning, any day.  I feel that one’s life experience can be more valuable than their formal education, in most cases.

That being said, I’d still like to see the diploma on the wall of my attorney or doctor, but in most cases, experience speaks volumes.

Look at the ever changing world of technology.
