"It is better not to go to school" may be that the income from working in a short period of time is not as high as that of peers who have never gone to college. Maybe none of my peers around me got married and had children early. Maybe they are far from home and don't have much time to spend with their parents and relatives.
However, what universities bring us is not a short-term effect. It brings us irreplaceable experience, which is the promotion of experience, the expansion of vision and the reserve of knowledge. What is more realistic is the advantages brought by academic qualifications, the changes in circles and the possibility of class mobility.
Don't question the meaning of going to college because of some gossip, because you never know what you have lost without going to college.
