lots of studies i've seen recently say by StackyMcRacky (2.00 / 0) #19 Fri Apr 20, 2007 at 01:37:40 PM EST
no, it isn't worth it.

in fact, most studies show that college isn't financially worth it for most people in the long run (execptions being certain professions where's it's an absolute must).

I think a four year degree is worth it by georgeha (2.00 / 0) #20 Fri Apr 20, 2007 at 01:45:41 PM EST
I know you nearly have to move heaven and earth to get hired in our division without one ( I know some that have, by essentially working their way up from the mailroom). But I guess it depends on what you want, if you want a trade, college is not worth it.

it's so hard to rate this kind of thing, because the people i hang out with (online and IRL) are all professionals.

but the "average person" - do they really need a college degree?  would an associate's or some kind of trade cert. be less expensive and more beneficial?  that's what the studies i've read all say.
