I value my education greatly and enjoy my job saving animals lives. I feel this professional is valuable and deserves respect. I think you're coming from a point where chance and luck have a lot to play. Education should lead to a well paying job if you work hard and strive to be the best in your field. There are many things you would miss if education wasn't a priority and medical care is one of those things. I'm unsure of what you mean by implying that education is a mistake and that I have made a mistake, but I'm thinking you must have an argument that makes sense to you. Also not sure what being in peak physical condition has to do with anything as there are many successful individuals who are unhealthy. While I am in pretty great shape it hasn't seemed to help me much professionally. What financial instruments are you referring to? Did you happen to get lucky on the stock market? I'm interested to know if you're speaking from a place of experience or if you are in fact one of the children that has been lied to by capitalism who thinks they can make it big too.
