WEIRDD QUOTE. help pleasee?

Question

A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.

what does that mean?=) please help

Answer 1

Simply if the man didn't have an education he would only be able to get a small piece of (probably the train represents) the world. If he had a college education he would be able to get more. (i.e. Donald trump in this case is the college educated man. Local Mcdonald's manager is the guy who never went to school.)

Answer 2

no education = petty theft

lots of education = hostile takeover

maybe the point is that the amount of education won't change a man's nature but his ability at whatever he does, good or bad.

Answer 3

it means if a person is not educated, he can become a theif, but if he is, he is rich enough to control the railroad

i think so

Answer 4

it means if a person is not educated, he can become a theif, but if he is, he is rich enough to control the railroad

i just copied to get points

Answer 5

I think it means no matter what your education, you can still be a theif, if you are more educated you can steal more..  Educated people are not better people,Example the government
