Not really about wasting their time, its about wasting their time at school and the likely drugs theyll take up if it continues long enough.

I saw a lot of kids go on to higher education only to mostly waste it. They were there because their parents made them, not because they wanted to be there.

I worked for a year before going to uni, after that, I really wanted to be there. Working sucked. I wanted a better job. When I hit uni, I was extremely motivated to learn.
