Quotes by Christopher Zara (?)

“Education is a net good for society. It lifts people out of poverty and provides opportunity. It’s valued because it’s necessary. I realize that, and it is probably the thing I find most painful about not having a degree.”
― Christopher Zara, Uneducated: A Memoir of Flunking Out, Falling Apart, and Finding My Worth
