> University education isn't about the destination/exam it's about the journey.

Showing up for lectures is by far the least important part of the journey. It's a passive activity that usually adds zero value versus watching lessons on YouTube or reading the textbook.

The real learning (IMO) is in doing the assignments, networking with people in your residence, social activities, internships, etc.

A degree is a class signifier, its only value is that it costs.

Most degrees you'll have to teach yourself and then when you graduate you get to advertise that you were willing to submit mindlessly to the system and do as you were told. Both of which are very valuable to employees.
