Reason against 'further education'

"I paid no attention whatever to books or study and regarded lectures as a joke which, in fact, they were if you discern anything funny in mawkish, obtuse mumblings on subjects any intelligent person could master single handed in a few months. The exams I found childish and in fact the whole university concept I found to be a sham. The only result my father got for his money was the certainty that his son had laid faultlessly the foundation of a system of heaving drinking and could always be relied upon to make a break of at least 25 with a bad cue. I sincerely believe that if university education were universally available and availed of, the country would collapse in one generation." Flann O'Brien.
