When they advise your kids to "get an education" if you want to raise your income, they te
Get high school diploma, at least. Without that, you are occupationally dead, unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison and you can successfully drop out in grade school.

A．will not be a shame to the society
