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.

While you may not be using that knowledge after five years, good luck getting hired in the first place. Companies need a way to filter applicants, and most use college for entry level hires.

That said, I’m taking engineering. There are an insane amount of business degrees, that one now needs an MBA to distinguish oneself.
