To say college/university is for ppl who want to work for someone else is just fucking narrow minded. it simply opens doors for you and gives you more options than you may have previously had. yeah the vast majority of ppl who go to coll end up working for someone else. as do the vast majority of ppl who dont go to coll

It's not the most ignorant thing because you can give 1 example where it is not true. The comment was a litte exaggerated though. College grooms you for a good job/career. Thats all they talk about, do good and get a good job, etc... Not everyone who goes to college is going with the intentions of working for someone else but I can tell you with certainty that at least 95% of the people go to college to get a good job.
Some self employeed jobs require higher education. Attorney, doctor, cpa, etc... need college whether they work for themselves or not.
