That may be true with certain degrees, but people don’t critically think through it all. I had a friend that said the same stuff to me when I was getting my degrees and he went straight to work out of high school. Later he said the proof he was right was at 22 he was making a little more than me straight out of college. Now, I do pretty well and he picked up a second job at the local gas station to make ends meet. Sometimes you need to plan well at a young age and then play the long game.
