How Much Should I Pay You?

I am now taking in new persons into my employ. And to my sad surprise, when after inquiring how much worth are today's university issues, to find that their wages no higher than what they were 10 years ago. The price of gold has quadrupled the last decade. So did property and oil. But not the wage of an educated human being.

I have now taken in a few, and they seem thankful of their new master, who so generously rid them of wretched unemployment But also to my sad disposition, I find their skills and qualification no different from the last decade. And i might even dare say they are more worse off now than before. They could not take to reading nor to write me any poetry. Nay, they even have no imagination nor desire to linger upon any such thought.

To pose them questions is to pose in vain. One can only ask of them to tarry on to reclaim from some remote past. Their master even have stand and wait in case they be lost in their own tracks.

But I also have learnt in the last decade. To practice kinder leadership and icon showering, for others to gain progress in their own nature and mind. Not to be any longer fanatically critical of anyone's bluff. It is after all the fault of an education system, an archaic temple oligarchy, that has its priests and issue its eternal currency of endorsement - those diplomas and degrees. I am fortunate I possess none of those papers of burden, none at all.
