i learned how to use my tool without the help of college, despite it being the primary reason why I enrolled in college in the first place.

Except for a handful of fields, most of the time College teaches you how to get yourself in debt & make half ass pay.

nurses & dental too.

People who don't know how to perform a sensible cost/benefit analysis on their investment in education deserve the heavy debt and crappy pay they will probably end up with.

nursing = medical

but yeah dental too.

That's good.

I guess the advantage of school is a framework within which you talk to other people who have been there and done that intellectually (professors and perhaps older students), and also to test whether you've actually learned much.

I'd say that is probably spot on.

A lot of law schools are frankly terrible investments as well.

I found the opportunity to work and actually make money far more valuable in the long run.

I go to a private school, University of Phoenix. All my classes have had 20 people or less. God forbid any one of our professors tell us 85% of us would fail and the rest would be lucky for a C. That's when you ask for their supervisor!! They wouldn't be talking that non-sense after that...

i did my degree i mining engineering, and we had some lecturers who had not worked in the industry since they used ponies to haul coal out.
One student said he wouldn't finish his thesis in time so would do it next year, he got told to sign a brick and hand it in, no ones going to care about an undergrad thesis.
yet mining graduates had the highest rate of starting pay of any course, and that was 12 years ago when mining was in a slump, especially compared to now.

and of my class of 50, only about 5 are still working in the industry, so for all of us, uni is all about beer and that piece of paper, not about what you learn
