“Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned.” -Mark Twain
This is true of all formal education. The more I learn the more I am aware of what I don't know. The more I read into scholarly work, articles, books, and text the less educated I feel. My vocabulary expands but the questions arise simultaneously. It is not enough to be well read, we must be relevant and remain current because knowledge is ever growing. This is a positive outcome, because it pushes me to continue to further my education.
I think that is one of the reasons why we keep going back to the university and that is to keep learning. We are always hungry for knowledge, so we keep going back to take classes.
