An educated person vs. not so educated and full of experience.

Just because someone is educated does not mean that they are more intelligent then the next man. Even without an education one can still live, not really in American society though. In American society you need a job to support yourself... Unless you have a small business of sorts, you work for someone else.
We are making people rich, by buying designer clothes, shoes, movies, etc.
The good thing about American society is that you have the oppurtunity to become rich. People say money isn't everything, but i want to see you go about without it..
It can be done.
Survival of the fittest! Those who do not conform to American Society have just as good a chance as someone who is conforming.
Peace, Droz

being smart, educated, experienced or rich is no guarantee of anything. many of each are miserable.
being able to relax and find joy, beauty, & health in passing mundane things is the wellspring of spirit/mind.

the crazy thing is, i taught myself just about everything i know, professionally speaking. i couldnt get great jobs because i lacked a degree...
so i got a degree (bachelors) - with honors, and I can honestly say I didn't learn a damn thing, but that expensive fucking piece of paper did the trick. I had job offers flooding me before i even finished my B.S.
how funny, and very very sad.

I'd take an education over a well of experience anyway. Experience is anecdotal, and sometimes leads to bad habits, etc, whereas a formal education is, given the right circumstances, a cutting edge, scientific examination of a field. Education enriches ones understanding of the experiences they'll have later on. Experience without education can lead to more false assumtions that education without experience.

Is that like saying you'd rather fly with a pilot with 10 hours of experience and all the textbook knowledge of his aircraft and aviation in general, instead of a pilot with 20,000hrs who's a bit rusty on the particulars?

Yes, yes I would. People who consider themselves "old hands" at something forget and ignore things. Someone with solid technical expertise and minimal flight time I would take over someone with no formal education who basically learned to fly the plane by trial and error.
Also, you're presenting kind of a false dichotomy. People don't learn to fly by trial and error. So the experienced pilot would have had to have had at least some education.
So you're really not posing weather I'd ride with an uneducated, experienced pilot or an educated, inexperienced pilot. You're asking weather I'd fly with an educated, experienced pilot, or an educated, unexperienced pilot.
And in that case, I'd obviously take the educated, experienced pilot.

IMO, common sense is more important than either education OR experience. Without a framework of common sense, which I see as a mixture of critical thinking, practicality and "bullshit dectecting," both experience and education will be scattered randomly across the individual's mind.
