The Washington Post reported today that people with lower levels of education face a higher likelihood of dying early than those with a degree. The study, which looked at data for blacks and whites in 43 states, did not offer an explanation for the disparity, but speculation includes the ability of the educated to move to more advantageous locales and their tendency to adopt healthier styles of living, including regular exercise and avoiding smoking. So I guess I’ll have one more response for any student who feels that education does nothing for his or her life . . .
