“It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he does not really need a college. He can learn them from books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not the learning of many facts, but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks.” ~ Albert Einstein, 1921, in response to Thomas Edisons statement that a college education is useless. This remains true. The failure of modern educational systems is that they often teach facts and neglect creativity and imagination. The most successful people tend to be the most creative thinkers. This may be why modern corporate head hunters are now looking to graduates with degrees in the fine arts.
