Overall though, its way better to have a university education than not..... that should be obvious.

free information is so prevalent these days. times have changes. if i wanted to become a plumber i can spend a day and teach myself studying on the internet for free. i do not see the point in going to class and being taught that same info.
to many people who i know who went to university have the same track of mind. they are unable to think outside the box. to many of them have the exact same opinions as their professor.
if anything this recession has taught me how right i am. your degree is no backup. people like to think it is but you are not guaranteed anything with it. the people that not only survive and thrive in these times are the people who have creativity and school cannot teach you that.
if you went and enjoyed it then good for you, i maybe would take a class oneday. but to many people with one talk as if it is a guarantee or they have that elitist mentality that they are somehow better because of a paper.
