At least you are now indicating that training and education are differnent beasts. Even then, I believe you are missing self-taught learning. I cannot stress this enough to people who want to succeed in anything they endeavor.

Even the definitions of who educates us are noteworthy....

Quote:
teach (v)

Synonyms: impart, communicate, show, explain, clarify, instill, give a grounding in, equip with, inculcate with
Sounds good... grade school, teachers are usually quite good in getting us to the next level....

Quote:
profess (v)

Synonyms: admit, own, own up, confess, acknowledge, agree, allow, recognize
Now here is where the disconnect happens for me... "professors" deal with significantly larger audiences and do not necessarily perpetuate learning that are accurately ahead of their time.

Ones leaving university whom think they know business practices, ideologies or whatnot are sadly mistaken. Does your IQ increase with educatoin? You have it, or you don't. And even then, you USE it, or you don't and that is where enterpreneurs make headway. Not necessarily the highest IQ's but man, some of them apply themselves astoundingly.

Anyway, I believe in results, not parchments. Always will.
