This was posted by @mturro as part of a comment on another clip - but i think it's such an important point that it deserves/needs to be Amplify'd. In my opinion, Mike's statement speaks to a fundamental problem with our society: education, whether in the home or in the school, is too focused on positioning people to make money. i strongly believe we'd all be a lot better off is we were instead committed to teaching people for the sake of learning and understanding.

I suggest visiting the source of this clip and reading the rest of Mike's comment.
