I think that's a pretty limited viewpoint.Purpose of higher learning is to become educated and expand your job, career, and entrepreneurial options.
You are right that we all have to make a living and you don't want your kids taking up majors like "16th century european dictators under 6 feet tall" BUT...don't let the fact that you did well for yourself without a degree cloud your thinking.

My father wouldn't have swallowed so much shit in his life were it not for his desire for all of his children to get degrees and have more options than he did.
