Comment on Why We Go Through Higher Education Once Only? by dowlingm

I think the reason why going through multiple cycles of higher education may be because we as a society value doing over learning. That is, we learn so that we can do, which is the valuable piece of it. However, I also believe that we can always learn new things in other ways. We can learn through hands-on experiences, conferences workshops, tutorials, videos, discussions (as we are now), reflection, and introspection. Although, I would agree that today’s society is much less focused on reflections and introspection (and perhaps even discussion) than societies from the past, which I think is a side effect of having very fast-paced lived that don’t easily allow the time for such activities.
