Why must it be an either or? Can't it be both?
People who go in for education for the sake of education have their reasons. People who go in for money have their reasons. Who's to say what's right and what's wrong. Why would it be a waste if you're in it for the money? it would be, if you don't get money in the end, but idk if anyone here has tried job hunting with a high school degree and no job experience any time in the past 2 years. It's not looking good for people without degrees. And I've had better job offers as I come closer to completing my degree. but say i don't get a job after graduation, i still wouldn't see my 4 years in university as a waste. I learned a lot of interesting things, a new language, met interesting people, worked on cool projects, and went studying abroad for a summer. What else would i have done if I didn't go to a university or some sort of school? Probably be a waitress or a salesgirl somewhere, because i don't really have any skills to fall back on.
