You know, I was going to point that out, but figured it was too petty and didn't add to the conversation. However now that I see you pointing it out, it does seem ironic given the topic. What is more important? Making a solid point in a debate with horrible spelling or spelling things correctly without much to say? Sort of summarizes the arguments for/against education. Some would argue that education values form over function, while others would argue that good form is needed to fully understand the function.
Yeah, I had the same internal dialog. His point was about the equivalence of the cheap degree to the MIT grad, but he undermines his own point by correctly stating that the MIT grad will far surpass him in the years to come.
The reason I ultimately decided to post the correction was that the reason the MIT guy will win is probably the "collage" vs "college" thing -- the MIT guy is polished, and credentialed. I'd rather hire a "college graduate" than a "collage graduate" regardless of what school he attended, but I think that maybe MIT produces more "college" than "collage." Does that make sense?
It's not a question of A = B, rather it's a question how useful the differences are for your goals. I have zero desire to climb the corporate ladder. So for me, the relative value of his education vs. mine is fairly similar.
People try and Min Max life like it’s some sort of MMO where you need to beat an end game boss. I know way to many unhappy rich people to think that’s an end goal worth sacrificing your life for. And other than money, why should you care about your job’s status? If you just want to boss a lot of people around join the military you can be 30 and have 700 people under you.
PS: As to spelling that’s always been an issue for me and MIT would not have fixed the issue.
