I went to university, and you're right, it wasn't for me. It also wasn't for the vast majority of people I knew that went.

It's great that you saw value in it. I do think you are in the minority. Most people don't like learning about stuff at the same time as working a job and throwing all their money at the university just to teach them stuff.

Almost every person that goes to a university is doing it for job prospects. Unquestionably. They think it's the new high school diploma, and in a lot of ways and industries they are correct.

You are an outlier, and that's why people are shitting on this concept.
