With those who actually have nothing against being educated (as opposed to learning a trade), I believe you are correct in assuming their education would most likely be put towards learning wealth-building skills (MBA, etc.). <br /><br />But the "dirt clods" (as opposed to the "salt of the earth"), are too intellectually lazy to become educated. They are willing to learn a trade, but to become a research scientist takes far too much "learning".
