The highly educated has as much chance of dropping dead from heart disease as the low income guy..

True, that a more educated (and assumingly higher income earner has greater opportuntiy to better health care, but statistics have not yet proved that the rich or more highly educated lives longer than the lower educated/lower income counterpart.

What better motivation for higher education?...But I just don't buy it as a fact of life..

Well.. Some of us should live well into our hundreds then since we haven't stopped educating ourselves. Or is this ONLY if you are being taught by an instructor??

I don't buy it either...it's rubbish!!!
