It is not that simple. If you can't take care of yourself, society (government, private organizations, your family) will take care of you. And instead of facing the consequences of your decision, you will become a burden to society. It simply is not in the nature of most of us, to enjoy luxuries while people around us are starving.
Hence, society will try to pressure you into getting educated no matter what. It may well be your education is nobody else's business, but society does have a vested interest in making sure that you are capable of taking care of yourself and making a positive contribution to society.
