I just had a realization today. I have lately been thinking of all the education I would like have, and all the degrees that go along with it. I get overwhelmed at the thought of more school, mostly because it means more money and no income.
But today I realized that I don't need school to get an education. Of course, this is one of those fundamental truths that we all know. But this thought never rang true for me until today.
I watched the Noam Chomsky documentary Rebel Without a Pause. It occurred to me that Chomsky knows what he knows because he reads on his own, every day. Most of his speeches come from things he taught himself and not things he learned at a school. Although, he did go to school and get his PhD.
So I have just decided that when I want to know something about a certain field, I will read all about it. People will respect what I have to say because it will come from a place of knowledge. It won't matter that I don't have the degree, if what I say is really a truth.
