I would have to say that education is a waste of time depending on what you choose to study and why.
If you take an arts degree just to go to university and party then you are wasting your time.
Most universities have become a "money machine" based on people like that, and has decided to ignore the people that REALLY want to learn. Better to get 10 people that will fall into their "degree program" and spit em out then 1 person who is going to give them administrative hassles. If you want to be another cookie cutter graduate into an oversaturated society, seems like a wonderful way to do it.
If you go to school with a goal in mind and then make that goal happen, I'd hardly call that a waste of time. I wish universities would move back to the "old way" of educating people who were intelligent, and wanted to advance themselves in a specific field simply because they thrived on learning and discovering.
Not Suzy Bigtits whose daddy runs Dayton tire and he sends her to study something because he never got to. She drinks, parties, and fails half her classes @ 20k/year.
Why is she even there? Why not take up a trade or get experience working.
I've never heard of anyone regret being educated in something they enjoyed, and chose to become educated in that field. Remember, you should always have a plan B, no matter how well things are going for you in any field.
You can make money either with or without a university or college degree. Don't think otherwise.
