A college education teaches discipline and is a social education.
In the United States, your already supposed to learn that before you go to college. That's what the SAT scores, college interviews, and grades are used for; to weed out the people who don't know yet.
For example, if you are not disciplined you will not get good grades, and you will not get into a college.
College is supposed to teach you more specialized, advanced knowledge and give you a professional network. However, the cost to value ratio is terrible in my opinion. It costs too much, and I sometimes wonder if I would do better if I dropped out and worked.
Really, I have procrastination issues and would not describe myself as the most disiplined person, the only reason I got decent grades in elementary, middle and high school is because I wanted to get it over with and was convinced things would be better when I was done with it.....but I did not learn anything in that mess other than people can be real jerks and it sucks to be an outcast.
And yes if I knew I was going to be reapeatedly dropping out because it's just not working out, I would not have gone in the first place but when I graduated I was convinced college was for sure the direction to go.....
