Yes. Education is important and should be valued. In most cases, it is worth it, but it is always up to the person. My grandfather went to nightschool his entire career despite having a very secure and well paying government job in computer engineering and programming. My grandmother (both maternal) got a full scholarship to Warton, but did not go because her parents were immigrants and thought she should work right away. She regreted it for her entire life. it did not affect her career as she was a secretary at smith-klien for an insurance purcasher. When he retired, she took over his position and was making over $150k in the 80s which was a lot of money for a woman at that time period. But still she was upset that she did not go to college.
I had a very negative outlook to college a few years back. TBH I was just going through an existential crisis and decided that college didn't matter because I did not want to be part of society. Now I am going back to college at a much older age than other students. It's awkward, but better I go now than not at all.
If you make it through life without college then you are lucky, but in general there are far more problems for people who have not completed college than did complete college.
