I think that college is great. But also, I think it can also be somewhat dangerous to one's ability to think for oneself. There is always one and only correct answer, and there is an authority figure who knows what it is. University culture promotes reading and learning without taking action and making real impact. It also encourages that you seek to be told what is right and what is wrong, instead of endeavoring to figure it out for yourself.
But I guess being a good employee requires a lot of those qualities that I mentioned above. You have to be a good follower.
No one is telling you college isn't important. The majority of the population actually thinks the opposite.
I don't think education is (or should be) about finishing and getting that degree. It should not even be about employability. Why does success equate to employability?
College is valuable, but I think society would be better off if we did not focus so much on jobs, status, success, failure, etc. Why not focus on how to create value or make the world a better place? These are things that a college education alone cannot teach you how to do.
