Money is power.

That's what I've been raised to believe.

Once you have money, anything is possible.

But that is not the truth.

Knowledge is power.

Knowledge will take you places.

Knowledge can change lives.

Knowledge can change the world.

But that knowledge means little

without a piece of paper that displays your name.

It's as if that knowledge means nothing to the world

without proof that you paid for it.

Knowledge is free.

However, proof of knowledge can cripple you in debt.

Therefore, the cycle comes full circle.

Money. 

Knowledge.

They have become one in the same.
