This thread is nonsensical.
The OP has it utterly wrong and is clearly displaying his one-dimensional view regarding the scenario of which he speaks.
I spent 5+ years in university (inclusive of grad work) so that I could retire at 30 and spend all day on the internet trying my hand at different business models, including adult.
Is that a hint of jealously that I'm detecting from the OP?
In any event, college cannot be blamed for prevailing clusters of similar thinkers. Those types of persons would have always conformed to social norms, regardless of the level of education they pursued.
Followers are followers. Simple.
