It depends on what that 'education' is. When you are broken down on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, that high school dropout that can come get your car running has a far more valuable 'education' than ANY Harvard MBA. And before any of you elitists poo poo that example, that is exactly what is wrong with America right now. Not enough plumbers, mechanics or welders to name a few. But we have all the PhD coffee pourers we need. A VoTech certificate is nowhere near as sexy as that MBA, and that is really unfortunate.
