PEOPLE WITH LONG DEGREES


"The purpose of education should not be to fill you with knowledge, but education should make you hungry for knowledge."
Debasish Mridha

While some people learn whatever possible for a living, some others seek education for a standard living. Education, in short, nothing but acquiring knowledge. In our modern world of high competition, knowledge is the only weapon that makes us stand firm anywhere. Those who possess knowledge  stand head high everywhere. If that is the case of knowledge we shall find here someone who studied for long and acquired more and more degrees to add to their names.
