The education system trains compliance, consistency, "manners", obedience, and to wear a tie and fit in. If you don't have manners and stick out, you may cause problems - so you won't be welcomed in the well-paid status quo.
My programmer/analyst job required an associate's, then HR changed it after I worked for 4 years to a bachelor's degree, and then later to a master's degree, and I was unjustly fired because I wasn't qualified for my job anymore. I earned a bachelor's in Business Management to run my own business; I don't need a corporate job. I got John Gaulted myself.
