I know dangerous is a strong word, but let me explain.The truth is that the rest of us, which is most of us, have to equip ourselves with the right tools to become successful in life. Think of your life as an empty toolbox and receiving an education is the process of acquiring tools. Depending on the amount time and effort you put in, your toolbox can be very basic or completely full with specialized tools. If you are following my analogy: that’s primary, secondary and
