Maybe higher education is not for everyone but I have a hard time relating to people who say that going to college or a university was a waste of time. Going to university and getting an MBA was the best decision I've ever made. I learned interesting stuff that I'm still using today. I launched a company together with a fellow student. I learned programming while doing that. I was referred by another fellow student to a company that resided on campus that contracted me as a programmer and product manager. That company is still one of my biggest clients. Another big client came from yet another recommendation by a fellow student. And apart from that, it really was a fun time.
