Do you regret not being highly educated?

I've just got a job in an administration type role at a University that will be opening in a few weeks.

At the moment it's pretty quite but every day there are more students about.

They seem really nice and I'm starting to low key envy them cuz they just seem to hang out in cafes all day.

Well, I finished college, but most "higly educated people" are dumb

Smart people you can find them in libraries, not in cafes. They are generally autodidacts

@SW-User lol

You must not be highly educated.

Smart people should know how to learn, but often did not achieve their status without help. To have actually taught oneself everything is likely to have mislearned much, since the teacher has no mastery greater than the student and cannot correct misunderstandings, etc. Or even spot if an answer in the back of a technical book is wrong.

@SomeMichGuy well, you are just blatantly wrong on that
I finished 4 years of college in 2 and a half years.

Currently, I am working on 2 books. One proposal has already been accepted. I also run a blog. I just don't mention anything here, because I don't want people to like me for my accomplishments.

Help is not guaranteed. This is why I disliked schools and colleges. You pay them. They still don't help you. You are better of reading books and journals. You can email researchers and authors when you have a question.

I didn't fully understand the last part of your response. You don't appear to write coherent sentences.
