People who attend univeristy just because it is the next logical step should recheck their life, I agree. People who are attending to accomplish a goal in their life are hardly wasting their time, no matter how you feel about their goals.
I went to University and it was the biggest reality check of my life. Parents did not cover anything and I had to work my ass off just to make ends meet for most of the time. It's something that I'm VERY glad i did, no matter how much I will use the science I learned in the rest of my life.

You're confusing learning stuff with getting a diploma.
People who go to college and take vocational courses are for the most part wasting their time.
If you want to learn accounting, don't get a University degree in accounting. Get a job at the lowest level in a company's accounting department, and use the job to pay your way toward a degree in the liberal arts or the sciences.
If you do this, it's likely that after four years you will have significant accounting experience that will impress a future employer, PLUS you will have a degree along with a body of knowledge that will add immeasurably to your value as an employee.
Most companies today don't want to hire college graduates with no real-world experience. And they certainly don't want to hire people with only vocational training but no real-world experience. So people whose college degree is essentially vocational training are doubly fucked.
