What is the point of your education?
Beyond the better life it can afford you
It’s helpful to consider the footprint our lives are leaving behind.
The main trouble with selfish ambitions is that they are small.
And wasteful.
We settle for comfort when we could have gone for agency;
The capacity to carve out a corner of the world
Small enough for us to influence and
Big enough to matter.
So as you consider your next qualification,
It might help to ask – what is this for, really?
