The 2 Aims of Higher Education…

…Ccourtesy of David Powlinson as said in an interview with Mark Dever found here (The entire interview is worth listening to).

Education should always kill two birds with one stone. You should always be studying something you want to learn and it should always open a door for you.  If it doesn’t do the latter, you can always do self study.  If it only does the latter, you’re a hypocrite.  

 

 

That’s the reason why I never seriously considered getting an MBA.  I don’t want to be a hypocrite.  I much prefer self study, especially with the easy access to quality (and free) theological content available online.  It’s much cheaper than going to seminary, I can pick my ‘professors’, and I don’t have to write papers.
