A university education never pretended to prepare you for real life. Its not some sort of advanced vocational training. There you are trained to think, produce new knowledge. So while you may expect to struggle economically after a university degree, it behooves the rest of us to listen to what they have to say, because those of us who did get vocational training, or no training at all, in all likelihood never had time or reason to stretch the ratio as far as they. I would be very disappointed if they did not develop a sense of smugness, it would mean they didn't see any problems with how society at large currently thinks or operates. A university graduate without an opinion would be time and money wasted.
