I managed to find the essay and I must say I would never have thought of this distinction between education and training. Now that I've read it I can understand and relate to your post. This whole idea of education has been on my mind all day as I wrote a post about my daughter who proudly calls herself an unschooler. Yes, educated people are at a disadvantage as their path in life is a solitary one, not walking in step with the trained crowd. But it is the right path. So, be proud of being educated!
