I'm not saying that people should forget about developing useful skills and instead pin all of their hopes on making money off of insanely risky investments. That's not a good plan at all. But no matter your future goals, I think that any form of schooling that requires 8+ hours of classtime+busywork per day is a criminal waste of time.
I do accept the fact that spending eight plus hours a day in class room is just too much time as you will never get to do any other thing while you are at the university level as you must focus your entire time on your studies,i did my engineering in electronics ,spent four valuable years but years later my focus and line of work is entirely different from what i studied,its part of life and i had to accept my fate in that aspect. 
Only one in a million will get this opportunity to make a million out of a thousand dollar investment,good for him and he was damn lucky he did not sell everything before the price started climbing. 
, he is really lucky.
