I have a brighter view. When faced with a system that is complicated and unreasonable, you are challenged to get creative, and to make something better of it. Whereas the military has little tolerance for creativity, higher education often rewards it, or at the very least, tolerates it. In some ways, adversity is a gift, and ambivalence is a vacuum waiting to be filled. We step into a world of adversity and ambivalence. IMO a good education ought to reflect that.
