  1. As a college grad let me answer the question that was not answered correctly: " If everyone had a college degree would the degrees be worthless? " Answer YES, why overabundance of anything makes it of lesser value. The lesser of something makes it worth more.

  2. I would recommend a trade school, its cheaper and in 6 months to a year you are job ready as a plumber, mechanic, welder. Sure to make top pay it takes time but these trades pay very , very well and you can open your own business, unlike degrees that require others to hire you.

  3. College today is a multi billion even trillion dollar business. That said surely they want everyone to go to college to obtain a degree in anything from basket weaving to Women's studies , to English Literature. No jobs in some of those degree fields , but hey they sound snappy to others right. I mean who cares if you go into debt $50 or $60k or more right, the degree is worth it they say ( they meaning the college) the world just looks at you as , " Oh ok, so you have a degree in ....what again?" So be sure you know the degree and job placement in that field before spending a ton on a degree thats well.............useless.

  4. Thats just it, send 60 K or more on a degree to obtain a job that may pay what 25 K a year. When I graduated in 1988 a 2 year AS or AA netted you a job making 25- 30,000 a year . Today a BA or BS may get you that much.
