“Getting an education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on.” - Terry Pratchett

Decryption of quote

Education is like a transformative experience that changes you from the inside out. It's not just about acquiring knowledge; it's about becoming a different person altogether.

When you invest in your education, you are investing in yourself. You are opening yourself up to new possibilities and opportunities that were previously out of reach.

However, with this newfound knowledge and growth comes a certain level of responsibility. You become aware of the limitations of certain jobs and industries, realizing that you are now overqualified for many positions.

It's like a double-edged sword - on one hand, you have expanded your horizons and potential, but on the other hand, you may find yourself feeling out of place in certain environments.

But despite these challenges, there is a burning desire within you to share your knowledge and experiences with others. You want to inspire and empower those around you to also seek out education and self-improvement.

Education becomes a contagious passion that you can't help but spread to those who are willing to listen and learn.

It's a cycle of growth and giving back, of constantly evolving and passing on the torch of knowledge to the next generation.

So, embrace the transformative power of education, knowing that it may make you unsuitable for some jobs, but it will also ignite a fire within you to inspire others to seek out their own path of self-discovery and growth.
