Education is VERY important! I find it shocking how far in life people get without proper grammar. It really is a shame how poorly some grown ups spell. Not to mention the people who still type lyk dis or LiKe ThIs. That was cute back in JHS, definitely not cute as an adult. I also wonder how people who can't do simple algebra equations without a calculator get around. My math skills may not be the greatest but even if I can't figure out some calculations in my head, I can jot it down on a piece of paper and figure it out that way.
While I do believe that a basic education is vital - by basic I mean High School equivalent - I don't believe everyone needs a College or University education. I personally feel like I wasted a lot of time going to College. I was forced to take a lot of elective classes that had nothing to do with my major. I also had to take math courses and English courses that don't necessarily tie in with my major. Schools do this in order to get more money out of students and it is usually a waste. I would recommend getting a certificate degree or going to a specialised school to study. In these cases most or all of your classes will relate to your area of study.
And if you ever need a refresher on grammar I recommend READING! But stick to classic novels, not trashy novels, or gossip magazines.
