I'm 36, degree in business that I am still paying off, and it did absolutely nothing to help me get jobs throughout my career in IT, which i learned on my own and have done very well for myself and family.
I can't even fathom what it would be like to have the extra ~$100,000 I have been paying off for the past 15 years.
Unless you go in as a 17/18 year old who knows exactly what they want to study, in a STEM field, college is the biggest scam in the world. I did have a lot of fun drinking though.
It's crazy. Our poor parents didn't know any better. My dad was able to pay his way through college and got a good joh fresh out. It's maddening that they've watered it down so much. I wish I would've went into plumbing instead of college. I'd have zero debt and be skilled enough to start my own business.
