He doesn't say school is bad, he says that the way school educates is bad, he never said that the main keys like simple math or languages that school teaches are bad, it's the expectations they have that are bad.
He also doesn't say school is bad and you don't need to go, as he's an educated person himself (graduated from university), he says that we are thought too much focused on what they want you to be, he tells you to interpret things differently and still walk your own path.
He also doesn't say that bill gates, steve jobs, or whatsoever got rich by dropping out of school, he says that they dropped out of school because they already had their future figured out, they knew what they wanted.
but..
in the end, without degree, you won't get anywhere, and that's his point, the world is too much obsessed with degrees, putting a human to it's limit to work their life after that, just because of a degree.
as there are many people that are talented even without a degree, and just do what you love, instead of educate yourself to death to make money.
jut like his ending, finding a job you love, is not working, it's doing what you love and still making love, filling every day with 8 hours of work which you don't like, that's work.
