Which is worth more? A University Education or a Real World Education?

I've been thinking about this subject a lot.

Is it better to stay in school and get a paper that screams "I KNOW THINGS" or are you better off DOING THINGS that will eventually lead you "I KNOW THINGS" ?

-A university education not only costs money and money. But it can also lead to things like stress, ulcers, a high dependance on coffee AND alcohol. But at the end of it all, you get a small piece of paper that's supposed to let the world know that you're worth something. But what are you really worth?

- A real world education, gives you pride in the work you accomplish, money, independence, etc

I feel like life is too short to waste on something that will only make you unhappy. Once you turn 18 you're considered an adult, with real adults questions and problems. But who knows the future? How can I predict which road will lead me to happiness or vice versa?

Life is hard enough as it is, no one needs an ulcer.

I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER...

You'll see me ask these questions all the time, I just can't help but wonder..

- Why are some eggs brown and others white? And why are some big and some small? Is it the hormones they inject into the chickens? Are the eggs dyed? Whyy??

- Why do some dogs cock their head to the left and others to the right? Are they like humans and just have certain ticks to call their own?

I'll try to answer these questions myself but please feel free to try and answer them for me.

Just remember, random facts are only random until you need them...
