[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eh. Everyone knows that no college degree is a guarantee of anything. But only 0.0001% of us are on a path to become tech billionaires or CEOs. For the rest of us, a degree from a strong college and the discipline and the network that comes from that, is a much better path to a middle class life than working at McD's after high school.

This. Skipping college on the theory you are going to become an entrepreneur only works if that's really your calling. A lot of middle class kids will be much better served by getting education/training in a field with decent job prospects. The world will never stop needing teachers, nurses, doctors, engineers, lawyers, economists, etc., and those jobs all require college. I know some people think all these jobs will be replaced with AI, but they won't be and even if they were, you'd still need humans who understand these disciplines to run/manage the AI.

The idea that most people are going to become tech entrepreneurs (or entrepreneurs of any kind) is ridiculous. That's like less than 1% of the population.[/quote]
