Doubt

Is it alright that I have doubt? I must be truthful about the doubt that circles this choice to pursue more education when American society seems to be filled with over-educated individuals with questions but no answers. As society continues to spiral towards an uncertain future and the problems seem larger by the day. I am left to wonder is more school the answer? It seems that higher education is where revolutionaries go to die. To become a part of the very system that we seek to change. This is contradictory, but in reality American society creates limited free space for those that recognize there is something inherently wrong with the American system. They are left to attain more degrees so that these legitimate concerns can become validated.The problem is, any idea that seeks to challenge or alter the American way of life will never accepted. It does not matter how many degrees one gains if they seek to challenge the norms or highlight the vicious hypocrisy of this nation they will be isolated or discredited. So yes, I have doubt and its because deep down I know more credentials are not the answer.
