I left school at 18, having chosen to sample the real world of work before carrying on studying & I never really left. There's a wide ranging list of vocational qualifications plus the odd thing I studied for the fun of it, Counselling, for example. When I was in my mid 30's I did do an IQ test & am pleased to say I have one!
The picking up of qualifications can be fun but does not, I feel, cover the whole of what education is. School of Hard Knocks & the University of Life are all real & I wonder if a degree actually helps a lot when dealing with some of life's crunchy issues. Then again, I haven't got one, so how would I know?

Englishman wrote:I suppose the biggest biter of the bunch has been the outworking of my faith. Bible study, formal & personal plus the chasing after God until He is found followed by the outworking of that knowledge into my daily living. [...] I am intrigued to see how Paul's cry in Ephesians 3:18-19 "... to comprehend with all the saints what is the width & length & depth & height - to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge..." Now there's an educational programme worth some study!
