Re: When do mentors go too far?
I believe what Dean may have been saying is that education in and of itself is worthless. There must be some driving force that causes you to DO something with what you have learned, and I think that was what Dean was getting at. As my father always says... "you can have a PhD., but if you don't get your head in the game you'll be digging a ditch with a pretty certificate. " I don't think Dean was knocking the educational experience of FIRST at all, just taking another view of it. But, I guess the only way to truly know the answer to that is to ask the man himself.
