If you want to get into a protected job early, then no, college is not a scam.

Not everyone is cut out to go to college.
Not everyone SHOULD go to college.
Trade schools, military training, even self study will suffice for many jobs.

So true. You read about kids with probably an average IQ who spend tens of thousands of dollars to go to college. They take out loans and major in sociology. Somehow they think it will make them smarter and more employable.

It's very sad. These kids have been taken in by an education scam. The schools get the money and the kids get saddled with loans.
