Definitely education is extremely important. But, as important is integrating the percepts that are taught in school into concepts. It does no good to spend your time going to college only to learn disjointed percepts, which seems to be the rule in school these days. No wonder science is boring these days.
If school was doing its job properly, there is nothing boring about math and science. In fact, it is human nature to want to learn science and math. We were born scientists. And, until school teaches us by rote memory (which is not the way we were meant to learn efficiently), we naturally seek science. Much play is rooted in science. Children are into everything--that is science at work. And, if our schools would take advantage of that and teach integrated concepts, there is no way in the world that our children would be flying paper airplanes and spitballs and causing disruption during science classes.
If we were not taught by rote memory, this excitement of science would last our lifetimes. We would die still getting into things, trying to find out how they work (by then, we would have learned to use that information to create value, and it would be as exciting as taking things apart was when we were little). And, the learning process would not stop after high school. People would learn to think, they would learn how things work, and they would not be afraid of the demons (instead, they would find out what makes these mysterious things happen). This higher learning would go on through college, which would be even more beneficial than it is now; and into our jobs. The learning would never end, at least until we die.
However, as disjointed and preprogrammed college is today, it is better than what the Watchtower Society has to offer. First, to get any decent paying job, you need that slip of paper that says you have completed the programming that college courses offer (and, without that decent paying job, you cannot get a decent lifestyle). And, the disjointed courses are better than nothing at all, even if they are tedious and tend to put one to sleep for poor presentation. I still recommend going to college if one can afford it, if only for these reasons. Besides, I challenge Ted Jaracz to find me a job that pays me at least $100,000 (1991 dollars, to index for inflation) a year on only the "college equivalent" of reading four years of the Asleep magazines like they were equated to. That job also has to be equivalent to the kind of jobs that college degrees offer, not just sitting around doing nothing and collecting the check (or pioneering; that does not count and would be refused on the grounds that it is spreading a pyramid-like scam). And, it has to be ethical--no scam spreading or MLMs either.
