In all fairness socialization and making connections played a huge part in my pre and post University experience, so it's not total bullshit but education is still of higher priority. Having connections without the means to take advantage of them is what we call "Being a frat minded dumbass". My social life has way more people that i keep around for favors than the amount that i keep around because i actually like anyway so it's tiring, not fun at all.
Just waiting on the potential economic disaster since the dumb brits who voted in favor of this are barely over middle class. God dammit why must the rich always suffer from the poor. Judgemental snobbiness aside the brits are gonna regret this when they lost the dollar value backing of the E.U, their inflation will skyrocket as will interest rates and the pound sterling will tank belly up like a dead rhino with weights in a pool of their own lack of foresight. Also they lost a lot of potential investments and free trade with the erection of borders, so the taxes will also have to rise and they'll all suffer while drinking bargain brand tea
