I was completely talking about the average case. Do you honestly think the modern world can be navigated just as well by someone with drive and a 4 year degree as someone with an equal amount of drive and the training from the 4 year degree on average? The world isn't designed for you. It's designed for all people, and for the vast majority of people, they need a much greater amount of training and education to get the same life their parents had by their age.
