I did learn some things in college.
Those things have not helped me in the real world.

I closed the 'pay gap' by being a force on the job and outperforming those around me. I learned what needed to be learned on the job as quickly as I could. Some of the people here spend hours arguing about philosophical ideas on how we could do things better. I spend that time experimenting in the work itself and finding the best outcome without the wasted debate.

College isn't for everybody. I would even say college isn't for most.

Just my two cents.

Thanks. Your two cents seem right on the money. (Pun intended)

We have done a disservice to many by advertising a college degree as the way to a better life, without any qualifiers. So we end up with a lot of people with useless degrees and a lot of debt. A lot of those people would have done better by just getting out into the workforce or getting some technical training.

I see some of those degrees as door openers, no more than that. My own degrees were mostly useless in my work.
