You can get a very long way in life with basic skills and common sense.
Well that my excuse for not sticking in at school
A lot of ologies soon become null and void. Quite often it’s the powers that be change the name of the degree and the old version is suddenly no longer recognised by employers. Ridiculous! As for the practical ones if you are not working in the sector or don’t keep up with refresher course. You’re ologies don’t mean squat!
I can officially state I have no questions that count
Indeed! In my case my ologies are worthless now, but doing them opened my mind to the idea of studying things just for the sake of understanding more about the world, and more importantly it was the time when I had the greatest capacity to hold my drink and still talk dog's spherical.
Time spent just expanding your thinking powers is priceless. Critical thinking is fundamental to a well functioning democracy and has nothing to do with perceived concepts of intelligence.
