I did go- I went for two years. As much as I gained, that is how much effort I put in- Lefum Tzara Agra. You can go to seminary and expect wondrous things to happen, but if you blow away your whole year, you won’t gain much out of it.

Also, it may not be for everyone. If someone is doing just because everyone else is, then what is the point? Yes, they might realize that it was good for them to go in the end, but not everyone is the same and it all depends on who you are.
