Every time I see a discussion about university education, the wrong question is always being asked and debated: "Do you really need degree X for job Y?".

Of course domain specific knowledge and further education is a good idea. The 3 questions that need to be asked are:

1: Is it relevant to the job? 2: Could the material be learned quicker and more in depth working on the job instead? 3: Is university overpriced?
