My suspicion is those who knock a real education (question what it's really worth), threw in the towel far short of age 18.
Schools have a 5% acceptance rate today, it was closer to 12% when I went there. Do you throw in the towel when you're 12? Odds are you will be in the 95% that are rejected. But unlike the lottery, your actions have a direct bearing on the outcome...

Education has it's place. I haven't needed a degree as yet and most of my peers have a masters. I will likely do one out of interest.
My younger brother I encourage to attend university, my partner is doing law.
I didn't do one due to circumstances as a teen, it's not that we "knock it", it's that there are alternate paths.
