so basicly, education means nothing unless u want to be smart? lol
i think you are missing the point of why we need education. you have the ability to choose wutever career you want. If you choose to go into architecture then u should understand that you are going into the field of construction which needs mostly skilled and unskilled labor. there is no room for huge money making opportunities unless you are at the top. there is not a huge need for educated people in this area. If you want to make money then you should think about what industry is in the most need of employment. right now we are in need of pharmicists. they are making between $75 and $100 thousand str8 out of college in Maryland. based on Marylands economy that is extremely good.
education does not make u money. if you are only looking to make money then you need a good business sense. You mentioned dot commers. most dot commers make next to nothing because they have no education and no business sense. I am a dot commer and until recently I did exceptionally well. but i am in college getting the proper education to understand the business that im in. you only get out of college what u put into it.
but i do agree that some classes we are forced to take are spawns of the government agenda ie. health, womens rights. but mst classes are to give you a well-rounded knowledge of the world. i believe that a person should be equally educated in language, social science, mathematics, and biological and chemical science. this is with the exception of your area of expertise. a well-rounded education is important for more reasons than making money. Your overall survival in life depends on how smart you are. you mention that a lot of successful people are uneducated in certain areas. this is because some knowledge and concepts come natural to certain people. take bill gates for instance. His knowledge of computers and programming came natural to him. his knowledge was driven by his interest and therefore had no need for education. He also has a keen business sense which other people lack and need education for. If you are in a class getting taught something that you already understand by someone on a lower intellectual level than you then yes, you dont need college. but if you are going into a field which you dont have a full grasp on then you need education. college is not some ploy to brain wash you and teach you to submit to society. that's what highschool is for.
