I'm saying that my life as I know it would be dramatically different, and probably worse, had I not gone to university, but all of the benefits I assign to having gone are peripheral (friends, spouse, weak employability marker) rather than direct (I learned something in class, related to my area of focus, that I was able to apply to my benefit in life). So it was worth going, but not because of The Great Education I Got There.
