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.

who made this 80% 20% rule up? sounds like the puppet masters again telling you things so you believe in the education.
my parents are both university educated and in their opinion they were taught almost nothing. the majority of their knowledge came from real world experience not a college classroom.
if you think for 2 seconds college gives you a better understanding of the world you are extremely wrong and blind. college teaches you courses that are biased for a reason. it is funny when kids tell me "i am taking a course on it" you are basically getting fueled with your professors biased opinion on things instead of figuring them out for yourself.
you people are missing the point, college and university turns you into a sheep.
it is funny how every degreed person responding in this thread is totally ignoring that point.
