I understand your point of view. There is nothing wrong with education, it offers many possibilities. However, most of us do not use it. Although I must admit that for most people diploma is only a bill and it is quite big.
Not without reason 95% of people live from the paycheck to paycheck. Someone has to work on these 5%. If you deconstruct a human life, It is easy to see that from a begining someone make decitions for us (0 -18) and we are taught to follow the crowd and later on, health problems might be an issue (50 - end), we have about 32 years to use decisive about yourself. It would be good for us to teach us things in the schools we can use in life, then more people could be successful. But such a system we have It is worth to live life to the fullest. And do not be afraid of change.
