Is there such thing as 'over-education?'

My problem is that I have friends who have gone through around 14 years of school and still don't know how to do paper work for payments on houses or anything.

To an extent. For instance, I doubt that many will need to know how to calculate how many electrons there are in an atom. But at the same time, whereas everyone will need to use maths at some point.

As some people have already stated, a person should never stop learning new things. Although, in terms of getting a job, I think some people could be overqualified in the education field, hindering their chances of getting a job. In general terms, I think it is an impossible feat to try and learn everything, but putting that focus of enhanced education in your own strengths probably leads to a more successful life.

Absolutely not. Specialisation is for insects.

There is no such thing as too much learning. There is absolutely such a thing as too much education.

Yes. If the underclasses know too much they tend to get uppity.

2 RespuestasNo only a moron would think so. Do the basics but never stop learning beyond that.

Well, in terms of what? In terms of getting a job? Yes. A person with a master's degree or higher probably won't get hired to work in fast food (Excluding managing) because they're "over-qualified", which in the working world, pretty much means, "over-educated". The reason why they won't hire someone who has a master's degree to be a fast food fryer compared to a high school student, is because the person with the masters will probably want to get paid higher and much more, while the high school student just wants money to get by. Fast food chains usually pay their workers minimum wage (Excluding chains such as In-n-Out). However, in reality? No. It's always better to have extra education, be it for a hobby such as learning a new language, or for practical uses, such as a person being qualified to be an electrician, and also an engineer. It's better to be "over-educated" because you have a lot of opportunities to have a job, and you'll climb through the ranks much faster. For more of a real-world example, it's better to know about the world than to know what your country wants you to know. Would you rather experience a country that your country hates from your own perspective, or would you rather listen to whatever they want you to listen to?

I'm a history major. I don't think I'd mind knowing everything. If I ever achieve this, I'll let you know if I feel over-educated.

Yes, if you educate to the point at which there is very little time to actually use that knowledge. But really only in that nit-picking manner.

Any education is pointless without wisdom and application.

1 RespuestaDefine what you mean by education and in what context you're asking the question in.

Yes, homework needs to burn in hell with whoever thought it was a good idea.

No, but I do think that there's such a thing as being too smart for your own good.
