bad associations, promiscuity, drug and alcohol use, and essentially it is a waste of time.
Well, I went to college, and didn't do drugs and it wasn't a waste of time. I partyed often at the bar in front of the college, so what?

None of it makes any sense. By now a lot of JWs go through the motions with articles like this and do whatever they want anyway. I know of pioneers who quit pioneering in middle age and are now taking dance lessons or art schooling or other interests. Young JWs who may not go to college but they go on programs for their jobs to get promoted.
Funny, the WT needs at least a few good young men to pursue "higher education" to run their many facilities, serve as ambassadors, deal with legal issues, and write the damned books and magazines.
I'm 33 and feel like I'm 80, in part thanks to the WT drilling it into my head that I didn't need to go to college, the New System was right around the corner. I used brawn instead of brains to make a living, and now I'm about fuct. If I get over my emotional trauma (not just WT related) and can concentrate, I'll try to learn something [more] about business to earn my living.
