College degrees still have better lifetime earnings on average.
I'm pretty tired of this broad anti-college brush that all the social media tools are spreading around. If someone is cluelessly going to college and can't figure out that a 6-figure degree for a $45k/yr job is a bad idea they should probably try a junior college economics class, first.
Now, before someone gets all bent out of shape: NO, college is not for everyone. Don't go to a $100k college for a job that earns $45k/yr, people don't need to go to UC San Diego, one of the most expensive colleges, to major in being a veterinary assistant. Nobody cares if someone went to a cheap college after their first job experiance. Yes, people should go to a trade school if that is the direction they'd rather go. If people don't have a direction in life that would be improved by a degree or trade, then good luck to them. No, the vast, vast majority are not going to be a rich influencer or youtuber, either, where they get to post how great not going to college was.
Imagine still thinking college is only $100K.
Imagine assuming that 100k was anything other than a random example. Don’t insult me by assuming I don’t know what colleges can cost, or yourself by leaping to hyperbole.
