No I wouldn't agree with that statement and nor with the wider idea that people who don't go to university are inferior. Put it this way. We have a system now where the majority of young people go to university. They're simpletons enough to drown themselves in debt at half baked institutions studying for degrees(womens studies, anything ...ology, non rigorous subjects) and with barely any work experience. They're in essence failures(the cold hard truth they deny). In an effort to justify their stupid decisions, they perpetuate the idea that anybody else who didn't follow that same doomed path is stupid as a result. Sorry but being a university student is not the same as being one from 40-50 years ago. Most go because they're clueless, want the "uni" experience(because getting drunk, struggling to pay bills and being unemployed can't be done outside of university right?). I view Cambridge and Oxford as good institutions for the most part and do share respect for the top 30 or so universities with regards to their STEM departments but if you're some liberal arts baby, you're doing yourself a big disservice.
