I can understand and respect education for the sake of education. But still some people spend a lot of time working on these degrees then get stuck working at crummy jobs with people who never went to college.

To me that’s the value of college. I could turn my high school diploma into a very comfortable living working construction. College is very expensive and very time consuming, so I want to get something out of it.
