Don’t disagree in general, but it depends on how those 4 years are used. My buddy’s daughter just graduated and after an internship will be a Physicians Assistant, which pays well and will allow her to live and work anywhere she chooses. Total time in college was 5 years in a combined accellerated program. She worked hard, now will reap the rewards, as it should be.

Congrats to buddy’s daugther and God Bless!

If the need to get a college degree is limited to the fields where they are actually needed the cost of college will go down.

A PA, Dentist, engineer, accountant, those are jobs that need degrees.

Receptionist, Medical coder, bookkeeper, dry waller, dental hygienist are jobs that need at most a certificate and usually can be done with a little on the job training.
