and school is the perfect way that the puppet masters keep you in line.
what is even worse is the kids who take totally pointless courses and somehow want some respect for it? like a "bachelor of arts" 
i find it hilarious that kids think they are "guaranteed a certain salary" outside of school. have fun paying off your student loans when you could of used that 4 years + to get real workplace experience.

Fair enough, you'll make more money being self employed and live a better life. But saying school was pointless means that people are only going to school for the money. And you're not going to get any money from a degree, that's fair to say too.
BUT being a university student I'll tell you this:
I KNOW that I can do shit that other people can't even begin to understand
I KNOW that I can demand a certain amount of respect because of my credentials
I've been able to work with, and talk to and interact with such a huge variety of talented people that wouldn't have come together for anything other than University
I've met a billion and one girls who are smokingly hot, smart as fuck, can hold a meaningful conversation, and are funny as hell too
I learned some organizational skills (still need polishing) but skills that I wouldn't have learned anywhere else
So all in all, it's not the money you go for but everything else is priceless. The people, the environment where everyone is learning and all that can't be put into words, its so amazingly great that it changes a person. The mistake people make is thinking that their education entitles them to anything. But if you're going to do everything for the money for your entire life then what's the point of living, you need to experience things, meet people and have fun and University is a damn good place for all of those things!
