Higher learning is important but in a formal atmosphere, to receive a piece of paper, is not. Unless of course your goal is to climb the corporate ladder and limit your success to what position(s) are available. I didn't even graduate high school (I quit in 9th grade) but I am probably more successful than 99% of my former classmates, who graduated high school and went on to college. I didn't learn anything in school that applies to what I do now; other than reading, writing, and basic mathematics. Most of my knowledge and skills are self-taught. The sad part is, so many people think once they graduate high school or college/grad school, they don't need to learn anything else. Personally, I will continue learning as much as possible for the remainder of my life.
Why do so many people major in business? Are they that lost that they can't consider something more interesting than a degree that they will never use? I'm so sick of hearing people say "I went to college for business" or "I took marketing courses" blah blah blah. True marketers are hustlers and hustlers need street smarts, not book smarts. What you need to know, they won't teach you in school.
College is probably encouraged as much as it is not just for "higher learning", but as a distraction and stall tactic. Most people can do the same job they will get after college straight out of high school but there's simply not enough jobs to go around. So if people go to college for 4 or 8 years etc, that's a way to pace the employment demand. (Just one of my theories)
