It's not bad to have a more educated populace, but I think the question here is extremely loaded against certain types of education. A few more years working is education, just of a different sort. I don't think a college degree is in any way automatically more valuable than a few years of working on the job, the life experiences that come with that, etc. I'm very much in favor of learning being a lifetime thing, but often the most valuable learning doesn't happen in a classroom.
