No the Honours part is part of the degree you get here. I probably could have pushed through another semester and gotten a general degree in Comp Sci...but what was the point? So I could get more $$$ and a job? Money means so little to me in the first place...nor am I in any hurry to get a family and a "regular life" started.

Do tell? Do they have anything like affirmative action? Because that's what makes it so hard for me here in the states....

IMHO college IS overrated.

the pluses: the piece of paper at the end helps you get a better job, albeit arbitrarily.

the best part was being exposed to the really really smart people (like 3-4), to get to listen as they thought in real time.

the coolest stuff i've learned i got from books i chose myself.

When one is in tune with the Cosmic Mind, one does not need to study as all information is readily available.

I finished elementary school :grin:

I like to set myself up for intellectual challenges and then learn the stuff needed to solve it. Several thousand sheets of downloaded scientific stuff rolls out of my printer each year, most often printed at "four pages to a sheet" to quarter printing cost.

I was to climb the ladder of the lycaeum to the university (Dutch educational system) and I would have it made as for formal education, but external and particularly dire circumstances tore me down to highschool level where I finally fell flat on my face and didnt even finish that.

Intelligence, wit or being smart has nothing to do with high education, except it often goes hand in hand.

On another matter:

In modern times Thomas Edison would not be allowed access to the stuff he needed to build his laboratory because nowadays he would lack the necessary papers.

Look at the marvellous things concieved by autodidactic "benign hackers" and then look at the freezing/crashing/bloated shit big companies like Microsuck come up with.

One of the greatest obstructions to human progress is the current emphasis on formal education as a restriction to getting the materials you need to do some actual pioneering science.

Alexander Shulgin is a pioneering scientist who actually had the papers and education, but because psychedelic science was "politically incorrect" they sent DEA stormtroopers to take his license and one of those numbskulls deliberately stomped up and down like a moron on Shulgins treasured peyote cactus plants for the sole purpose of upsetting this great scientist and feel some pathetic "power" over a genius of stellar intelligence.

Look at the arts created by those who had the formal art/music education and then look at the works of Van Gogh, Rembrasndt, Beethoven and all those other Greast Masters who lacked the formal education.

Really: formal education is as nice extra, but if you (yes you :wink:) don't have the formal education you have not a thing to be enmarrassed or feel inferior about. It is the quality of what you do which counts.

So for me, personally, I'm impressed if people leave the university with a full cum laude average, but I can be just as impressed by someone excelling without the proper formal education.

A great mathemathician can make you think so hard that your head spins by hypoglycemia, on which cue his wife gives him a nice cup of :stfu: and gives you a slice of apple pie made with stellar home baking.
Who's the genius? :evil:

you raise some good points! the intention here is not to belittle anyone without formal education, those who succeed without it should be held in the highest esteem.

I couldn't agree more.

Tertiary , that's a funny word. Anyway, i have a bachelor degree on computing and management. High degrees are sometimes a bit bloated, 80% of what i have learned came from real life school.

I prefer gin and tonic. The Vegas strip clubs are the best. That is the extent of my formal education.

ahh, righto. do you not get a degree at all then? in NZ (and South Africa where I'm originally from) degree's are three years and honours is an extra year. honours is considered potgrad so you still have your degree even if you drop out of honours.


Enough to know about stuff.
