I've always felt this. College is the wrong place for most people. College is for nerds who want to learn and do research, and things like that. It isn't for someone who just wants to get a "real" job, nor it is really necessary. You can learn almost anything on the job.

Because people feel like it's a waste of time they're not going to classes to learn, and so it's simply a waste of time and money for most people.
