Higher Education Is a Gateway Drug

If you’re like me, then you’ve been told your whole life the same thing:

Be good. Get good grades. Get into a good school. Get a good job.

That’s a lot of repetition for the word “good.” But all of those conditions are not sufficient to produce the final result. This mantra is espoused by parents and society (teachers, advisors, etc.) as if it’s a logical conclusion: IF you’re good and get good grades and get into a good school THEN you’ll get a good job.
