Some people are just born with inclinations towards certain skills and abilities, while others who have to be formally instructed never achieve the same ability levels. So, are we talking about "education" as a formality? or education as in applicable knowledge and skill? Which is more important? The older I get and the more life I experience, the more I am inclined to believe the formal education process is highly overrated (and much the source of some of our societal problems, but that is another subject for another day).
