Is education Scam ?

I have been thinking this for a while now 🤔

I am 22 from a small family since I was a kid I wanted to become a chartered accountant ( well not cause I liked it, because I searched on Google highest paying job and i found this ) but with time i understood it's way out of my league not financially not mentally so I moved on with normal studying some college and degree.

Now that I go out for a job it's bad I mean so bad the best job i can get was some random office worker less then minimum wage, for sec I felt bad not for myself for my parents those 2 spent there life thinking if they struggle now there son might live a good life. Whenever I think about them I feel sad.

That aside when i check social media and see uneducated people making more then I could ever make a dilivery guy making my monthly salary in a weak and a shop owner making my yearly in a day. I came to that realisation eaither I chose the wrong path while studying or i am just that bad at it.

But still I met many of my classmate they are not doing well eaither well i understand I suck at studying but my class topper he was really good guy he spent most time studying he told me his dad is disabled so he had to study as much as he can after few year when i meet him he was working in a factory I felt really bad for him but still asked how are you doing, while talking he told me his dad just passed away a year ago. That time it hit me does it the education we are getting is wrong or its just a way to keep us busy for 20 year of our life for no reason. That guy had all the right to have a good life but still here we are.

As i said I was not good at studying around class 10th i started trying my hand in trading and made some money still doing it and it's supporting me for last few years but when the realisation comes that I am nothing if I fail in trading i will have nothing to live by its my last resort I am not good at anything i am not healthy enough to do hard work. If I lose in trading it's over for its the only thing that's supporting me and it's not something School gave me.

Then what did I do more then half of my life by now after school i tried learning things like digital marketing, coding, data science then here come AI everyone saying I will take over I don't understand what can I do what should I do.

So this thought that is education Scam comes to my mind those schools institute costing fortune won't even give me an opportunity to live a good life.
