The push to go to college/university "just because" is by far one of the biggest ripoff lies told in our time.

You go into higher education when your life goals require it, eg: you get a medical degree because you need one to become a doctor.

The way most people go about higher education today is bass ackwards, going to college/university and then figuring out what you want to do. That more than likely isn't going to amount to anything besides useless debt and precious time wasted.
