It depends on your major.

Unless you are an engineer or doctor, most of what you learn in college is not really applicable five years into your career.

There has been such a focus on college=success that it has become a huge debt bubble. You will do just as well with a two year technical degree and a bunch of ambition as you will with a business or liberal arts degree.

...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...

...since experience trumps theory every time, college past a certain level is a total waste of time and money...
