It depends on your major.
...to an extent that’s true...but I majored in accounting, and the jobs I had all required college degrees, so far so good...but the work I did actually used stuff I learned in the 101 part of the curriculum...at the end I was trying to figure out stuff like how to merge major domestic and international corporations and audit their activities for fraud...stuff that the average accountant never even gets near to doing without years of on the job experience...

...and while nwe’re at it, Mr. Brigade, might as well throw in half of high school education being a waste as well...anything past the ability to read the national language proficiently, how to attain a certain eloquence in writing and rhetoric, and how to function aptly in arithmetic matters are all one needs to be successful...the fact that we’ve managed to gum up education with dross like exotic mathematics, foreigh languages, and drama and poetry are regrettable...
...please understand I don’t consider learning the above dross useless...I am currently studying Latin and have progressed enough to read and translate after a fashion...simply saying what could have had less impact on a youth of high school age needing a foundational education than such mental frippery...
I’m in electrical engineering, so it matters. It’s impossible to get an engineering job without a degree.
Many majors are a waste of time though.
