What is the point of school?

Maniac Craniac Wrote:I guess I am a left-brainer, but I have a very strong imagination and creative side. I think the combination works out quite nicely when I write or when I am on the job, interpreting. Anyway, my practical side caused me to choose UWyo as my school, and I will engage in creative ways to finish the degree :Imagine and interpreter who has and MBA... yeah, I'm thinking about it...
Well, since you are a fan of Thoreau, I have a quote of my own:

"I have learned that the swiftest traveler is he that goes afoot."

Hmm. I might even add that to my signature.

Ahaha that's alright, I'm a left brainer too [: Creative left-brainers unite!!!! Big Grin

What do you interpret?

I so totally remember reading that in Walden and thinking, "oh my goodness, that is so quaintly awesome!" Big Grin ....Not really seeing how that relates ubermuch, though Wink I said that it would be better to learn by doing but that it was slightly impossible for me to learn in the field at the moment :coolgleam:

It relates in that you are saving time and money by learning through hardknocks, rather than taking the conventional, formal, path. You are one of us, that is, the elite legion of creative left-brained autodidacts who have read at least one thing from Henry David Thorough.

You name it, I have done it. However, I prefer educational settings, so I mostly work in colleges and high schools with the occasional conference, medical apointment or job interview.

by the way, working in so many locations on an inconsistent schedule is one of the reasons I am highly unlikely to be murdered, according to the survey that was posted here not too long ago.

Well, I was going to correct you and ask what language you interpret?, but if you just look at the avatars that explains it [:

I knew that is what you meant, but that is one of many details I have decided to keep secret in favor of anonymity. I know a few languages, and I don't interpret all of them, but I do interpret more than one. I will leave it at that Smile

Isn't it to work the system to get a credential (that people respect despite their insistence that it's just a game) while actually learning something?
