	A Life Long Pursuit Even in his childhood H. G. Wells hungered for education. His public schooling left him unsatisfied and then he was shipped off to apprentice as a draper's assistant. Opportunities for higher education presented themselves and Wells took them. H. G. was interested in science and was able to apprentice with a chemist for a short while and to take some Latin lessons. Wells found himself in many good situations for extending his education and was able to use his connections to get into university. The first time around Wells did not make it all the way through university, mainly because of uninteresting subjects and boring teachers. Later in life however, Wells was able to obtain a diploma in intermediate science. Wells believed that education was the answer to the world's problems. Education was also H. G.'s way of trying to make something of his life and pull himself out of poverty. Back to Top Copyright 2000 Roman Allemann
