Take it from a criminal justice major who ended up going into student loan debt because I felt like I just downright “needed” to get it from a university. NOTE, I’m not saying don’t go to college, I’m saying unless you are majoring in one of the fields I named, you’d be better off enrolling at a JUCO or Community College. Now if you have a scholarship then that’s a different story. I was originally in a community college but ended up transferring because that school only offered associate degrees (my other excuse for leaving lol). College as a whole is way too fucking expensive to begin with but I feel as though it would be more worth it if you were in the majors I mentioned. I do realize that there are many graduates who have majored in other fields and feel content and that’s great.
Fairly common opinion. It is worth noting that it’s actually a way worse world to live in if the only people who should get to go to college are the people who expect to earn a lot of money. This is coming from someone who went to an expensive culinary school which is objectively a trash investment. Now I’m getting a scholarship for tech, but all I see is that people in this program are even less deserving
