Money as the end result of education should only be part of the goal. It doesn't even have to be in the equation, but realistically it will be to some degree for most who attend.
When I was there, I chose subjects that I found intriguing. It wasn't like highschool where you have to take all kinds of courses you don't like or need. At University you get to choose and focus on the area of study that interests YOU. Listening to some of the professors speak on issues was mind blowing. Some of them are so articulate and the subject matter so interesting. Go to university because it excites you. Learning about things that you've always wanted know is exciting.
I still read and re-read many of the textbooks I used during school and I've purchased additional books on the topics I was interested just to get some more insight.
The people in universities are the ones creating the drugs and antibiotics that save lives. You can learn about how they do it and perhaps someday do it yourself. The people in universities are the ones that can teach you about technology to fly into space, or to build planes or even bombs. Anything!. It's also the place where future politicians reside...you can learn about the political system that governs you and why it is the way it is, its pros and cons. As far as information goes, there is no other institution on earth 'higher' than university for you to get your hands on that information. Learn whatever you want to learn.
Universtity can be a pretty profound experience if you enjoy learning. And if that's not enough, there are the chicks and the parties you will go to.
