Sounds to me as if your undergraduate studies were a waste of time and money, since they just repeated what you'd already received in high school.( Amelia)
Why waste all those years in high school, taking so many courses that do not have college credit? Two of my kids finished college by the age of 18. This allowed them to go on for graduate school. A child who finishes university at 18 and a masters at 20 is ready to enter the market place, with several more years of **university** training than their contemporaries.
By not wasting 4 years in high school, a child can spend an extra four years in the work force. ( This, too, is a **valuable** "education".) Those four years are worth $200,000 to a half-million more in lifetime earnings. That would surely beef up a 401 K or pay the mortgage on a house.
You missed the point entirely.
If college courses are merely a repeat of high school courses, they are a waste of time and money. College courses should be more advanced.
