Because going to college isn't just about making money but also setting up good habits, challenging yourself, making connections, having fun, new experiences, becoming independent, and I guess learning so you can have some knowledge/skills for a career?

Also only poor minded or NGMI types care about """wages""".
Wages are taxed at a higher rate than cap gains, distributions, dividends, or just about everything else.
Professionals know it's the benefits/bonuses/commission/equity rather than the wages that matter.
The business/investor/wealthy folks know to avoid W-2 income if possible.

I literally """"paid"""" myself around $30K a year 1st 10 years of work and recently upped it to the $40K range.
My net worth is probably around $4-8M right now.
