<p>Yes, trade schools teach trades, but I am talking about the trades that are so advanced, they can only be taught in a university. Medicine, engineering, chemistry, biology, law, research, accounting, etc.</p>
<p>Those who go to college for the experience or to learn a wide array of cultured topics could have done it cheaper at the library and at a nightclub.</p>
<p>College is supposed to produce professionals and those who can provide an invaluable service. If college degrees prove that you are a “hard worker”, then what makes it different than the hard worker who climbed to assistant manager and made over six figures in the cumulative span of 4 years with just a HS diploma vs. a kid who spend six figures in the cumulative span of a college career and spent the whole time flipping burgers? The only way to beat that is with a college degree of great worth! </p>
<p>Society teaches you that college will guarantee you a better life and a better job, so many people go to college because society “told” them to, so they get these random degrees (no offense) just to be apart of the scene, yet when they graduate, they wonder why they can’t get a job.</p>
<p>If I am an employer, I am not going to hire you just because you have a college degree. I’m going to hire you because you have a set of skills that can contribute to the company that cannot be replicated by my current staff. A business of few highly skilled workers is going to produce less payroll expenses than a business of many mediocre workers.</p>
