Grad school is only ever *not* a waste of time if you're already entrenched in the academic system and you have no plan for getting out of it (or you feel called to stay there.) (That, as far as I can tell, is the only purpose served by grad school: to give you an excuse for sitting around and talking about academic-type things with academic-type people. Actual research and work is based entirely on your own motivation to learn, and is totally unrelated to the Grad program.)Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00439558955365251588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8935690.post-26287480400078424332008-10-28T08:32:00.000-07:002008-10-28T08:32:00.000-07:00Lots to ponder...

I'm thinking of a few cults and all of them has provided some sort of "sordid gain" (not necessarily financial) to its leader. I don't know if that was the expressed purpose of founding the cult, but that's what ends up happening. I suppose that might be a caution for us in any Christian group we are involved in. A good thing can become very bad when we allow our pride to push God out of the picture. I could say more, but there's oatmeal to be made. When can we get together and chat again?danayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168284716285672587noreply@blogger.com
