Then again, there are a lot of people with degrees doing low-wage work. An education is no guarantee of employment. At least a degree opens more doors.
Get a degree in Accounting or STEM….everyone I graduated with in 1983 with an Accounting degree stayed employed until they retired…If staying employed is your goal…
dropped out of HS in 10th grade. After the military I went into sales and excelled because I am a very hard worker. By my 40’s I was a VP with a large company and earning serious money. Conclusion: A hard worker trumps education and IQ. Now if you are a hard worker, intelligent and completed college, you should excel.
I can remember a time, just after NASA shut down the Apollo Program (Because we’d Been to the Moon and Congress decided there was no where else to go), when there were Taxi Drivers all over Central Florida with as many as 3 PHDs in subjects so exotic that there were only 5 other people in the world with those same qualifications.

Send your kid to tech school to learn a trade. Instead of owing $200K, they will get a job that pays money.

As a matter of fact, I DID go to college…several of them. Didn’t graduate and, was employed for 39 years. It wasn’t beauty or brains, just brawn.
