Oddly enough I had discussion with my mom this evening about education.
I come from a large family, 6 bothers and sisters. I am the only one that did not attend University. Went Junior College route. Learned a trade that I no longer practice
I was telling my mom that I regretted not attending University, in that I missed the networking that comes with that particular route.
However since there is no do overs, I have done the next best thing.

I have continued my education outside of classroom.
I read, under rated activity in todays society. I tend towards history, economics,biographies.

Education is out there for anyone who wishes to learn.

So do you think you get the same level and type of knowledge out of independent reading as you would in a classroom?
