    I call bullshit on this.

    In this day and age... a college degree doesnt mean anything other than years of debt.

    I just turned 29 and I have more friends than I can count that went to college and cannot find a job in their field. They are stuck waiting tables and working at grocery stores while trying and trying and trying to find a job.

    My gf and her sister both have their teaching degrees... been out of school for 4 years and no teaching job.

    The list goes on with numerous other friends.

    And they all have a massive debt in the form of school loans.

    Fukk that. Im glad I skipped college.

    Skilled trade is where its at these days.

    This right here is honestly how it is. Maybe if you got a masters or doctorate and had something very specific set up. Otherwise it is not worth going into debt for a degree. I'm doing fine now, working somewhere not even close to my degree. I honestly would be making the same if I started working here fresh out of high school, although in a slightly different position, maybe even making more, long run who knows how it will benefit me. I have my student loans paid off, but managed to avoid them until my last little bit of school. Honestly I wish I would have done something entirely different if you could go back, but then again I wouldn't be me, and dunno if I would change my experiences in life. Bottom line education may be good, but a bachelor's degree isn't going to be very beneficial currently.
