Depending on your goals college might or might not be worth it . If your goal is to get a good paying job with “good benefits” you might want to go to university .
If you want economic freedom learn how to invest and start your own businesses .
You can listen to podcast ,YouTube, read books,take seminars from people getting results .
I am not here to bash any one with or without an education ,however there are multiple ways to educate yours elf.
Most of us have been conditioned and taught how to get educated .
In other words we have been programmed to get a PhD, Ged or doctorate .
Anything that teaches you to do otherwise isn’t widely accepted .
Life is the classroom of all classrooms .
University, college High school lessons are based on theory.
People like myself are driven to do practical work like investing in the stock market, real estate and so on .
In the class room they teach theory but how much of what you learn in the class room applies to life ?
If I do Anything it has to be practical and logical.
I need to learn things that I can apply in life instantly .

Funny enough we have teachers teaching subjects in theory but not practically .
Rather than going into a class room and listen to theory I would go to a real estate seminar and learn from Robert Kiyosaki .
There are Very few things that I learned in classroom that I apply in life besides basic math reading writing subtracting reading but nothing else I learned in class really applies .
Traditional education prepares you to learn more .
A tradesman has the skills to sustain his or herself.
We have a lot of “educated ” people that don’t have skills to sustain themselves outside of their office job .
Most of the times that I want to learn something I read a book or listen to a podcast or watch a YouTube video .
That is how I learned social media marke ting .
I didn’t sit in a board room,I actually listened and watched the people that were getting the results I wanted.
The school system is engineered to produce a working-class.
Yes I have seen some of the world’s most successful and rich people obtain a university degree but very few .
It all boils down to what you do with the information and how you process it however practical education is by far better.
Just think of the pandemic and the economic havoc it cost .

How many people lost jobs and had to rely on Government Stimulus checks to get by ?
Majority of us were not allowed to work unless of course we were essential workers.
However , if you was a video editor or a Seo strategist ,a website auditor an investor or a blogger an online consultant or a general social media marketer you could have made money.
Conclusion
Always remember that it is the application of skill sets that is the most important.
You must not stop learning . I always found sitting in a class room to be boring . The way these teachers teach doesn’t inspire students to want to learn .
