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!

i date accountants, oil managers and women who make just as much as i do and they are all smoking and i never set foot in a college.
i am smarter then 100% of my friends who went to college and it is because i have real world experience and knowledge, not some bullshit i read out of a textbook.
again i love how people talk about the university experience. you must have had rich parents who babied you through life anyway so you dont count because you have no sense of the real world anyway.
my buddies who went to university were broke, at fuckin kraft dinner and rahman noodles, drank cheap beer and smoked weed all day while studying while living in a shitty house with 5-8 other guys or girls.
what an amazing experience!!! while they were in school i was out traveling the world building my business, ill take my experience over theirs anyday.
stop making it sound like university is the only place to learn, you are so blinded it is not even funny, i dont need my puppet masters to teach me what i should be thinking i go out in the real world and discover it for myself.
