Hehe, you get your diploma and all of a sudden you become different - 5 levels higher. Well, you actually don't.
You can't count on that to form your personality. That lies in your own hands.
What a diploma can do is help you find a decent job, in order to get material comforts and live a decent life in this cruel world.
But it does not shape you. Neither do your clothes, nor your car.
What shapes you is your deeds and the choices you make.
I'm sorry if I sound edifying, that's not my intention.
P.S. And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying people should remain uneducated, ignorant analphabets. Not at all. Education is extremely important of course. It helps you improve your knowledge, but does not make you who you are.
