I grew up in the US, while my wife grew up in the UK. She had a better education and now has a better understanding of the world.

• I grew up in the US where the educational system was more general. 
• I didn't learn about world history or geography, and I was discouraged from pursing my dream job. 
• My wife grew up in the UK and got a better education, becoming a more-rounded adult.

Having grown up over 3,000 miles apart, I am quickly learning the differences between my wife's education in the UK and mine in the US.

I recently married my wife, Kaajal, who was born and raised in London. My education in the suburbs of Pittsburgh emphasized an overview of general subjects, whereas Kaajal narrowed down her desired career through a series of specialized courses and exams.
