Don’t go to college unless you want to go into business or do ‘hard science’ for a living, or want a job that requires a college degree?
If you don’t have a college degree your chances of getting a decent job are nil?
Gee, I dunno. Bill Gates and a lot of other college dropouts might disagree. Mark Steyn never attended college.
A good liberal arts education allows a man to think for himself, to see both sides, to be free.
Try reading ‘ The Trivium.’ Written by a nun and based on Aristotle’s thinking on grammar, logic and rhetoric, it’s all anyone really needs to be a good citizen, as well as a contented, happy person.
And it might help you frame coherent advice.

IIRC, Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard because he had an invention that was going to revolutionize computing.

A liberal arts education has been watered down so much that Starbucks is being choosy on who they take. Then again, if you have the desire to take womyn’s studies with a minor in Esperanto there are plenty of jobs waiting for that special someone.
