Is College Still Worth It?

Careers are a 20th century invention and are becoming more so in the 21st century. Society has driven us to believe that without a solid career, we will be unhappy. Obviously greatest way to a career is college.

Fortunately, happiness isn’t dictated by how much money one has or the career they posses (most of the time. few are lucky to love their jobs).

Secondly, with the surge in online schools and “get your degree in four months” schools, the job market is growing ever more competitive with these other “non-traditional” people becoming nurses and teachers and other things… This makes me think, why spend $100,000 on a degree from a big school when you could go to a small, online or whatever-they-are-these-days school and be just fine?
