  • You’re putting words in my mouth, that’s not even close to the point I was making.

    In my eyes, education is nothing more than a measure of how much knowledge you have been taught.

    Intelligence is your ability to use your existing knowledge in a creative way. (ie. creating a working scientific theory after experimentation)

    So no, advancements aren’t just made by some smart person who never went to school and lives in a shed, they come from people who are both educated and smart.




  • I don’t wanna share too much information, as it’s fairly identifiable, but I’m working for a local wedding venue today! It’s run by this sweet older couple; I’m their only employee, they pay me pretty well ($21/hr and I’ve gotten a $3 raise every year I’ve worked here), and they basically treat me like family.

    Formally, I am an “Event Associate“ but they’ve affectionately titled me as “Event: everything we don’t wanna do”. My primary job is to take a wedding plan, and actually make it into reality, we have a custom floor plan every wedding with a number of antique furniture and decoration choices. So effectively this is a labor job, but they let me have as many breaks as I want and they make me sandwiches sometimes.

    My favorite part is at the end of the night where there’s a bunch of leftover wedding food that I get to take home for free!
