Hey, guy, you don't know everyone's situation. When I got out in 2010, there weren't many good-paying jobs waiting for me and, like some others who have commented here, my high school grades didn't give me an open ticket to the college of my choice. So, I had to start my GI Bill time at community college and use the stipend to pay much of my bills.
I really don't regret that choice. Some of my professors were department chairs from the bigger universities and brought so much expertise into the classroom. If you were one of the few students who actually cared, and I was, getting one-on-one instruction with a professor wasn't hard. After a few semesters, I had my pick of universities. I even ended up with enough GI Bill time left to cover my first year in Seminary.
I get what you're saying, but it was a necessary choice for some of us.
