Reasons to stay in College despite not getting EMA

During the recent "student" riots whereby damage was done to various London landmarks and Charles and Camilla's ride to the ball was attacked, there was an "interview" with a group of young boys with their face covered. The main guy said something along the lines of:

"If I don't get EMA, what's stopping me from leaving college and going out and doing drug deals on the street?"

Well...

-At college, you get to pick subjects that you enjoy learning.

-You actually want to learn.

-You can develop "transferable" skills

-You want to meet like-minded people with similar interests.

-You want to meet different people with contrasting interests.

-You want to keep your options open.

-You want to go to university.

-You don't know what you want!

-Drug dealing is dangerous.

-It is not as lucrative as you might initially think.

-It is illegal.

Just some ideas. Feel free to add you're own.
