Higher education doesn't mean you are better than anyone else, sure u may know something we don't know about. But knowledge can be learn. Day by day, weeks upon weeks. We are constantly learning on how to live in this world. Straggling to pay rents, loans, and to fullfil our need and wants.
Getting a higher education, just like an MMORPG, is just a p2w (pay to win) to get from point A to point B faster than anyone else. But in that period of time learning, some had already established their own way of living and making an income. 7 years of studying verses 7 years of making money. You decide.
