So many people get out of college and can't get a job for a very long time. Certainly not a good paying job in their field.
I would urge any young person to go to a trade school or even earn a two year degree in something that is in demand rather than go four years and not be able to get a job.
Besides, the trades pay pretty well. Better than alot of people get with 4 year degrees.
During my year in grad school, I worked 42 hours a week at Radio Shack. #2 salesman in San Diego county. I leveraged my First Class Radiotelephone license with Ship's RADAR endorsement to develop a fairly large regular customer base. I left Radio Shack to work for Marine Electric Company using my licenses to perform electronics installation and repair work for the San Diego tuna fleet plus work boats, freighters, pleasure boats and base stations. I had to put up with joining IBEW to keep the union rats from walking off the job when I had work inside NASSCO and other ship yards in San Diego.
The tuna fleet was failing, so I moved on to Pacific Telephone as a Toll Central Office Equipment engineer. Concurrently, I was teaching embedded systems at Southwestern College. That generated enough income to earn a private pilot's license. Eventually I left pencil pushing engineering and started writing software at PacBell. That was really my forte and in paid off nicely with promotions and pay increases.
