Certainly grad school is not for everyone. But consider that you learned a lot more in university than facts - you gained skills by practicing them, such as the strong writing and clear analysis you showed in this post. Those skills are highly-prized and cross content areas. I sometimes tell my philosophy students that even if they're not interested in the puzzles themselves, they can use them the way weight-lifters use heavy weights: in the end the weights haven't moved anywhere useful, but your muscles have gotten stronger for lifting them, and that's useful.
