What's Education for Bread, Money or Something MORE?

There is famous speech by Steve Jobs - at Stanford I guess, where he says - this is the closest he has come to being graduated, which should make us think how can a person who has not been educated "formally" - can ramp such a high tech industry, produce the most sexy designs one has seen, be a game changer etc. etc. If the world is working rationally then if he is not educated even for 15 years of life and he is so successful then larger part of urban india where graduation is a norm, spending more than 20 years in being EDUCATED must be a STEVE JOBS making machine. But then it is not so... may be reverse is true...

Whats education after all for and why Steve Jobs, the answer to it lies in his biography of sorts - ICON...very few people know that during the hippy decade steve jobs came to india to know indian religion, with very little money and almost slept on the streets of Varanasi or Banaras.... Education is like a tool, if one knows the purpose he can pick the right tool and complete it... but without purpose its useless...But finding purpose in life is really the hard part and thus we get settled for the lesser option of getting educated.

When we are ready to invest our resources and time on education - the question is why not some % of it in helping people, children find purpose....the purpose may change.. from age to age but if the desire would be strong enough eudcation would come on its own, when one wants to learn - who would care whether its coming from a govt school, or private - or from Internet....
