I would say college is definitely worth it if you plan on ever having any kind of "normal" job because 99% of people who hire will simply not consider someone who didn't go to college.
Graduating with a silly English or Sociology degree still grants you a degree of acceptance into "polite society" that never going to college simply won't.
But the best idea is to go to college, study STEM, get real skills, and use those SKILLS combined with your degree's prestige to really advance your life.
I wish I had studied something difficult in undergrad instead I goofed off, partied, and graduated in an easy program which doesn't help my career prospects much. I am correcting that now. You are still there, get a degree in finance or engineering or something where you'll actually make bank from your "normal" job afterwards.
What kind of jobs can you get with just non-stem degrees? I'm about to graduate with a degree in History, but I have no idea what to do with that. Too late to change my major. Does the career center help you out with jobs or?
