I dont agree - i think university degrees follow the 80/20 rule - university is 80% useful, 20% not.

I took a couple years off of school after I finished highschool and worked. Those years made me realize the odds were against you even more if you didnt have a degree. i decided to go to university and earned a degree in Accounting.

I look at myself before and after university - I have the same high level of drive and ambition but now I am more cognizant of how the world works and how to best interact with it. Before I was spinning my wheels alot with my blind ambition but now I am much more reserved when judging business opportunities and I apply the critical thinking skills I learned in university when making everyday decisions. I am definitely glad I went to university.

I know some of my classmates were just going thru the motions when it came to going to university. They were just there because their parents wanted them there or it was the "thing to do" after highschool but I think the couple years I was away from school made me appreciate it even more and I got more out of university than the average student.
