This is a good example of confusing macro vs micro. In the short term, solely individually, you are better off going to school. Society long term might be doomed by it because of work skills mismatch, financial issues, class issues, and waste of time / waste of human potential, but you're individually better off going to school... for now anyway, or more accurately, at least in the recent past, maybe not today. Its like in a discussion about fuel efficient cars, pointing out the death rate is slightly lower in a land barge and its real nice for carrying my skis. Yes, but that'll also "destroy the planet" if all 6 billion of us acted that way. Nobody wants to live in the high crime city so we'll "ALL" move out, leading to guess what in the burbs?
