[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on what kind of degree they are getting ([b]most humanities degrees are pointless unless from specific top schools[/b]) and what they want to do later in life.  I know several people who didn't go to college and who are very successful.  I know several people who went to college and are struggling to find steady employment in their field 5 years later.

I don't think it is neither foolish nor wise, I think there are a lot of questions that have to be answered first before judgment can be made. [/quote]

I disagree and this is one of the most pathetic things I keep reading. Either knowledge for knowledge's sake is worth it or it isn't; the school shouldn't matter. [/quote]

But it does matter to potential employers.  Do you really not think that in the employer's eyes, there is no difference between the English major from Yale and the English major from "low ranked college"?   Schools like Yale are also more likely to provide internships, extra help, specific classes, more experience, and the connections.  [/quote]
