I think that people who want to go to college should, but free online courses should be avaliable. For example, I have learnt abstract algebra from an online textbook, even though I shouldn't have learnt it yet. And those free online courses should exist for every level: Undergraduate, graduate, PhD etc. Those courses should also issue a diploma after a final test, and businesses should not discriminate between people who have a diploma from an online course or people who have a diploma from college. That is the solution.

Before, I planned to go into the field of computing and become some sort of server analyst or a server technician at the time. However, I ultimately didn't go to school because I didn't want to put 49k towards my tuition and instead focused on experience. Sometimes, experience still can get you a job, but a lot of times I was turned away since I didn't have a degree to my name. Also wanted to go into the field of medicine but again, that's too expensive. One thing I really wish school taught me was how to manage my finances though, because I can easily see how people can drown in debt well before they're graduated. Especially when you're fresh out of high school, it's way too easy to ruin your credit, which is pretty much needed for a lot of things

One thing you didn’t mention was going to junior/community colleges. Although most people want the “college experience”, going to a community college and getting my basics out of the way saved me tens of thousands of dollars.

[@MineHero367]

Only problem with that these days is that most schools in my area have the stipulation "For first-time freshman only" on their scholarships, including the large scholarship every high-scholar gets once they graduate. Going to a community college might be cheaper, but then you cant get the $15-30k of scholarships you could get from the big university, you just have to pay them for all your general classes as well.

[@K..C]

@@MineHero367 I'm not 100% sure of your situation but in my case it's still cheaper to go to community college first than to get the "big" scholarship from a university. I can get my general classes out of the way. As even though you would get 15-30k it would only cover around 1-1.5 years of tuition before I would have to pay for the last few classes and remaining year by myself. Which would set me back around 13-17k.

[@bradleypariah]

I did one semester in community college, then quit. I went to a trade school that does job placement upon graduation, and it literally changed my life. No prospective employer cares as much about anything as they do about *_experience._* If you're broke and fresh out of college, you have no real world experience. If your school gets your foot in the door somewhere, that first job *_is_* your experience for your next higher-paying job, and when you start working, you'll be under a much smaller cloud of debt. You might be surprised, there's some kind of trade school for almost anything you might be interested in. If the top-tier roles in your preferred industry require a traditional college degree, go to a trade school to get hired by an employer that will pay for your college education.

My parents insisted on my getting a "useful" degree (rather than what interested me), which was a LOT more expensive for them and still resulted in a useless bachelor's when I couldn't make it through the internship. Only about half of people who start a postsecondary degree complete it, and only about half of those that complete a degree get a job requiring it. So study what you feel passionate about, even if it means your parents drop you like a hot potato. It's your life, not theirs.

[@SangoProductions213]

As a graduate, I've got one piece of advice to anyone looking to get a degree (in a field where it's not actually required): Don't. 4 years of experience in the field is 10x more valuable than almost any bachelor's degree. Not only that, but instead of charging you for the privilege of learning, you are paid, and actually contribute to society. Your life is not over if you don't go to college, no matter what the corrupt school systems try and tell you. And if you're willing to learn how to work with your hands, electricians and plumbers can make hundreds of thousands a year - no calculus required. No predatory loans or indoctrination needed. Just actually working and doing something for the world. Obviously, certain jobs (particularly doctors) have extremely stringent requirements (most of which are for good reason), so I'm not talking about those.

i do feel like educating children is way too easy to abuse, since children don't know any laws, or even how the economy, or the world, works. in fact, elementry school and kindergarden don't teach you enough laws, or economics. becose if students know what laws the schools have to follow, or how they get their money, or who runs schools and why, what's their goals, then students know when the school is breaking theose laws, and know how to game the system, and how to suck the most money from em. i remember how my second school told me they were broke or low on funds. but thats what every school says! or how my elementry school workshop had no noise canceling headgear... i remember reading if inhaling the wood i was sawing was harmful, and apparantly they have laws for wearing masks in usa, but not in eu. if i knew that i could tell the school to fgimme noisecanceling headgear or masks to protect lungs, then thats more money coming from the schools pocket... so thats why they teach everything but payng taxes, economics or other important stuff, instead just history, biology, chemistry and math

I think that the biggest lie that schools are telling us is that we all have to go to college after high school. It’s just a natural assumption during your senior year that you will go to college and for many people, it seems like the only option. Instead of going to college, I just went to a local trade school and learned web development. After a couple weeks of job hunting, I got a job as a junior developer. It didn’t pay much, but it was enough for me to move out of my parents house and rent an apartment. Also, it gave me valuable experience. When I got my next job, I beat out 5 other people who were CS graduates fresh out of college because I had more experience than them. I now earn 90k a year and I am completely debt free. My advice is to only go to college if you want to pursue a career where a college degree is absolutely necessary. Otherwise you’re shooting yourself in the foot by wasting 4+ years of your life and getting yourself into thousands of dollars of debt.

You have to be willing to work hard physically though if you want get good work in these fields though. Not all of the jobs are going to be rough though.
