College these days is a giant rug pull.

Not the way I do it kiddo
Definitely pulls something
If you broke from the hood get that financial aid my cuzzy
I’d put this into the ‘it depends’ bin.
I went to a private school for my bachelor (history). I’m in sales. Largely a waste of time and money, but it was expected of me, I wasn’t paying, and I was not a self-starter at 18, lol.
Fast forward to my teenagers. One wants to be a lawyer, one a vet. Ok, you do need degrees for those……BUT, they are dual-enrolling while in HS, rest of their associates at a community college, and then state schools. Assuming they don’t decide going to school forever is a drag.
You get a better ROI in some areas than others. But the larger issue is the inflated costs and sense of entitlement that people generally have coming out of college, in my humble opinion.
I'm glad I went through college when I did, before all this craziness started.
