Nobody is forcing anybody to get a bachelor's degree. Or, nobody _should_ be forcing anybody to get a bachelor's degree. It should be completely up to the kid going through the schooling to make up their own mind. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten stuff (work, tips, useful stuff, etc) not through my schooling but through the people I know, but I'm still going through my bachelor's degree/master's degree hopefully a few of these/PhD because I want to. If you don't like what you're doing, do something else while you're still young. You most likely have a place to live (parents) and some form of ambition, but if you decide to go through a useless bachelor's degree (I'm not saying that bachelor's degrees are useless, just getting an unused bachelor's degree is) that's your problem and you don't have the right to complain. Just do something about it!

"You most likely have a place to live (parents)" Lots of young people are turned out of home when they reach adult age. I wouldn't assume that any particular nineteen-year-old has anywhere else to live but a place where he is paying rent.

  "Lots of young people are turned out of home when they reach adult age." I'm 30 and I've never met or heard of one in the last fifteen years or so. I'm sure such young people exist, but I doubt there are "lots" of them anymore.

    "I'm 30 and I've never met or heard of one in the last fifteen years or so." What circles do you hang out in? I'm considerably older, and perhaps I've lived in more different places too.

    wow, my experience is just the opposite. I'm 40, but I'm guessing its not a generation thing as I have plenty of friends from age 20 through 60. Where do you live and what social circles do you run in? I am legitimately curious here. You may have discovered a pocket of utopia.
