I was made to understand that education does not always lead to more success in the real world. The better you perform in the world of academia, the worse you may turn out to be at solving real world’s problems.
In academia, problem solving involves only a part of the brain – the rational part that reads and writes, retains information and connects the dots. This is the kind of skills that are tested in examinations. They are, as we must all be knowing, tests of scholastic aptitude.
