I don't really care about the downvotes.
But this meme that university likely doesn't teach you anything...it's so baffling to me, like, university does. It imply smarts, but not everyone who went to highschool reads and I feel like at least on this website people should get intervention effectiveness and probability etc. Just because university education isn't ideal and people might disagree whether the education people receive there is useful or marketable doesn't change the fact that if you graduate from a serious university or community colleague it is likely you'll have learned self management skills as well as whatever was in your classes.
I've once seen a talk by a German soldier coming back from Afghanistan and he talked about what big difference it maae that in Germany almost everyone trains their ability to focus on someone speaking for 30+ minutes, discussing how he had to learn to triple check his local co-soldiers who hadn't had that luxury actually got the mission briefing. Even if you just learn to binge learn and puke out knowledge in tests that can come in quite handy later on, and the often maligned humanities actually matter if you are interested in a nuanced and continually evolving look of humans onto themselves. So I find this meme that university is worthless quite damaging and not really trustworthy. People can be uncultured swine, idiots and dicks at any educational level, it doesn't necessarily mean they didn't benefit from their education.
The fact that the US puts you heavily into debt to get that education is another question that I'll leave untouched here since dang asked me repeatedly to steer clear of predictable controversies
