I used to think college was OK if your aspirations worked in that direction. Mine didn’t at the time. Now, college is a big money pit & there are other perhaps better choices. It would depend a lot on which college you chose. I’m well past college age now & if I did go, what would it be for....to get some indoctrination while I sit around in retirement?
Colleges: Hillsdale, Thomas More, Thomas Aquina, perhaps a few more. The rest are vacuous credential mills and marxist indoctrination centers. The community/junior colleges are still, in the main, worthwhile outside of California.
