I just want to throw it up there to continue to stress how important education is. Whether it be institutional or otherwise. An institutional education signals to employers that you have accomplished the base level requirements to enter into a specific field of employment. Which is huge, it is also the single greatest investment anyone can ever make.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The most important thing that anyone should learn from any education, wherever they received it, is the ability to learn. It is the ability to absorb information and analyze it in a way that promotes understanding, not simply retention. That is the kind of weapon that all governments should fear. When we, as an educated population, have the ability to ask questions&#8211;that is power.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Promote education, regardless of age, if we want to ensure that those we leave behind are a truly free people, that is how we do it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was cruising through the internet yesterday when I stumbled across this great meme of General &hellip; <a title=\"The Value of Education\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=41345\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The Value of Education<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":646,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41345","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41345","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/646"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=41345"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41345\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=41345"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=41345"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=41345"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
