I Don't Think a College Degree Always Indicates Intelligence

It certainly won’t in my case. I am going to do a degree in Fine Arts and Ceramics. I got a place in uni. I am so looking forward to September!

Your parents must be so happy paying for Uni in an area where jobs are few and the pay lower.

My government pays. And my parents are happy that I am happy. And I shall still live at home and do all I can on the farm. As I have always done. @TheProphet

@Blodyn You are going to use your degree to benefit others too.

Blodyn · 22-25, F

Yes. I am going to be an Art Therapist. Because Art helped me to leave behind the abuse I experienced when I was little. And it may not earn much money, like the Profit seems to think I should, sorry The Prophet, but it will enrich people’s lives. Why do Americans count success in dollars? @Hasmita

@Blodyn It's not just Americans who think that way.
You are already and you are going to make an invaluable contribution with your work talents and passion.

Thank you.

Don't let anyone stop you.

@Blodyn Because money is important. Must be nice having a Socialist government that gives away money from tax payers. Glad we don't have such a wasteful program here.

Blodyn · 22-25, F

Perhaps we have different values from yours. Education has always been important here. It’s why the 19th century coal miners built libraries. It’s why we talk a lot about politics. It’s why students on my bus read The Economist. And remember that the people of my country have voted for a “wasteful” socialist government ever since we had a government to vote for! @TheProphet

I won’t let it stop me. I know where my talents are. I shall not rest until the abuse of children is a thing of the past. Consigned to history books. @Hasmita

@Blodyn Thank you.

Also money comes to those doing good deeds.

Blodyn · 22-25, F

I shall always use money to secure the lives of children. But my determination is that it must stop. @Hasmita

Hasmita · M

@Blodyn I know you will.
My point about money is that the universe will meet the needs of divine projects. God works in mysterious ways some will say.

I hope you are ok too.

Blodyn · 22-25, F

I know God works in ways we cannot understand. We need not fear if we are about His business. And I am ok. And going great guns. Thank you. And I hope you and your parrot are well. @Hasmita

Hasmita · M

@Blodyn We're well thanks!

Glad you're ok too.

Blodyn · 22-25, F

Oh. I am! x x x @Hasmita
