Not when the degree you worked so hard for won’t land you a job being a janitor.

I worked 3 part time jobs in college. I drove a tow truck, I drove buses, and I worked in a dairy processing plant. I did farm work and raised dairy heifers over the summer. It took me six years to get through but I did.


After college I took A job in pharma research that I enjoyed and was good at. I developed a highly technical skill set ad was even published for a neurobehavioral program that I helped set up.


The contract lab I worked for for 13yrs closed down due to lack of business right after Obamacare went through. The parent company closed operations in the US and built a huge campus in China. I went to work for another Pharm company in CT and they just merged with an English company and operations transferred for a better business climate.


I am now working overnights in a local hotel and trying to get back into driving. I'm non union so it gets a little dicey in that area.


I,m not going to say that college is worthless but my advice is to take what classes you need to learn to do what you want to do or find someone to apprentice with. It will be a whole lot cheaper in the long run
