Forming a habit can be a dangerous one, especially when it's "I am going to quit because I am not happy right now".
While you definitely have a great point, isn't life too short to be completely miserable? If someone finds college a terrible experience, I don't see anything wrong with quitting. Same goes for a job, relationship, etc...
So, how is having to work 40 hours+ at a bullshit job to 'stay afloat' not wasting your time?
I'd assume that the "b.s." jobs that people might be referring to are probably retail, restaurant, hospitality, etc, jobs that have non-traditional schedules. For example, I'd rather work at a restaurant at night if I need to instead of committing to a 40+ hour job (and add in 10 hours for the commute, for example), even if I'd make more money. If you work all day, starting your day at 6:30 and don't get home until 7:00 at night, it's tough to spend any time on a business. Especially if you have additional responsibilities (i.e. spouse, children).
This is just how I see it, someone else may have something to add about this.
