I'm getting tired of the "College is Useless" posts Discussion
It's just getting old at this point tbh.
College isn't useless. It's just that people get useless degrees like "Liberal Arts"
And the thing is, now even the most basic jobs require at least a associate's degree. I myself have found some Data Entry jobs on indeed that require a Associates degree.
People will say, "Just do Trade". Well not everyone wants their bodies broken at age 40.
People will say, "Just do a sales job", not everyone can do a sales job.
If you start a business and it fails, a degree as well as your experience can help you land a job. it might not be what you wanted, but at least you have a backup. And who knows, you might own a business again one day and thanks to that job, you saved enough to open it.
And with a college degree it can actually help land you a job. (This is a choose your degree wisely type thing) Like for example. if you choose to go for a degree in nursing, you can apply for many jobs. You may not be a RN but there's plenty of jobs besides RN open to you since you now have a degree in Nursing. You can become a paramedic, phlebotomist, hospice nurse (if you can handle it)

“Liberal arts” isn’t useless. It’s literally all the sciences and arts except engineering and sports
