One of the worst perception ever,probably sold by school drop out and the rest. First,school is for acquiring knowledge,as learning is part of every day life,and making practical use of this knowledge in real life.Unfortunately the society we live in can not provide job for all its educated or graduate per say,but nevertheless having that knowledge alone puts you already a step ahead of someone that does not have a tall.it is better you have a school qualification,and job hasn't come ,than you don't have, and an opportunity comes your way that requires Degree and you no get,is crazy.  I remember how I got the motivation to start a university degree.I visited one of the Residential Areas of an oil company,on reaching there I saw life people are living,cars young boys are driving,company providing them everything you can imagine to make life beautiful,and I said to my self I must go school,I eventually trained my self in school.althou is not a guarantee you will be there with them,but the fact that you have the knowledge first ,have the paper,you never know what life might bring your way. And also in addition to getting a degree,get also a skill to compliment that.
