Depends a lot on how you view education, formal book learning, or taught at the school of "hard knocks"?

Reminds me of the, "how good a driver are you?" question.

I've learnt a lot more since leaving school than I ever did while I was there.Mainly because its what I wanted to learn not what I had to.

Take a look at another entry in this Board, "Are you a teacher" and then answer this question. There were a helluva lot of well educated and intelligent people responding with credentials that are truly impressive. I could be wrong, but the proportion of graduate and post graduate education in this small microcosm of society seems abnormally large, considering the size of the sample.
