School should be required to some degree. If we got rid of school then yes the world would be screwed. However, not meaning to school anyone here () but college isn't at all required, nor needed. It really depends on your intended career. I want to either go into game design, IT, or laboratory work. Two of those will definitely require school and college. However game design is a matter of skill, as are a lot of jobs.

Forgive me for my awful/horrid example. Take spongebob. He probably never went to college. But if you look at his house, everything looks nice. Out dated, but nice. He is a head fry cook at the #1 FF restaurant in town, and probably makes a pretty good salary. He needed no school and is pretty well off.

Anyhow, school should be required, but it should not be so stressed that if you do not continue after high school you will be a failure in life. Its simply not the case
