As a fellow reader and bona fide nerd, the main thing I learned from my education was to continue learning. So many people I've met stopped reading after their formal education. I'm sure that other media will eventually eclipse reading as learning tools. A few years ago, a friend, who is a distinguished professor of literature as well as prolific writer with a number of books to her credit, and I went to see a film called Magnolia. When we left the theater, she turned to me and said, "That film accomplished what great literature once did." In other words, seeing the film was the same as reading a great novel. We are headed into an interesting time. Thanks for the link, Andy. As a fellow reader and bona fide nerd, the main thing I learned from my education was to continue learning.
