This is all coming back to me know.. My manic relationship with formal education. Three weeks into Grad School, and there is much weeping and gnashing of teeth. I straddle the line of enlightenment and insanity, with the hopes that the ends justify the means. A simple Pro/Con list should illustrate my current feelings about this four year commitment:
Pros:
Engaging in critical thought
Challenging insight from other perspectives
I like getting smarter
Good teachers = good relationships
Larger network
Cons:
Rules
Grading based on performance, not on application and implementation
Memorizing
Rules
Tedious busy work
Forced community
Rules
For what its worth, I'm glad to be back in it. Reminds me of when I worked full-time at Yarnells Ice Cream company, and took 15 hours one year while at Harding.
