Going to college and getting a degree is only worth it if the degree itself helps provide you with a job (nursing, engineering, etc.)

A degree in history, English, anthroplogy, creative writing, or anything else like that might be interesting, but it might not give you a set of skills a company wants and will pass you up for someone who has the skills they’re looking for in potenial candidate, leaving you in your search to apply for more jobs and asking if going to college was really worth it.

Can a college degree help you? Yes. Can a college degree hurt you? Yes…It really depends on what degree you get and the places one applies for. There are a lot of people with all sorts of degrees who are working as waiters, retail clerks, call centers, substitute teachers, and are barely making any money.

The core classes are a real pain though.
