[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many parents on this website are also very confused about the purpose of education.[/quote]
many parents on this site don't have family money, came from nothing, and see education as one of the only ways to get out poverty.

If you don't need to see education that way, then you are privileged. Lucky you.[/quote]

The way out of poverty does not require you to go into debt for an imaginary "rank."  You can get out of poverty faster by taking the scholarship at the school that offered you one. That education will also get you where you need to go.[/quote]
sure, but the poster who stated "Many parents on this website are also very confused about the purpose of education." is insinuating that some people only see college as a ticket to making money, rather than "love of learning'.  My point is that, yes, some of us do, because we came from nothing.

BTW, I do love to learn new things, but my primary goal for college was getting a high paying job so I could get out of poverty and help my parents.

It's a privilege that some of you don't have to worry about that.[/quote]
