That statement that educated people are shackled at their homes was a hoity-toity comment. It goes to infer that somehow those who are educated alone have something to contribute and not the rest. In this day and economy there are many women, esp. in IT and other service industries who do their work out of their homes and get a paycheck every month. One can feel shackled whether at home or at work. It's all in the perception.
There are many unpud people who contribute more in service with their work. The lives of the educated folks is a breeze bec' of people like them. Every job and every person's service has a purpose and they are interlinked and interdependent. Some very successful people will say chalking success in life to book knowledge is a bit overrated.
