I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the state of our educational system, and quite frankly, it makes me sad and a little angry. I wanted to get the green screens opinion on whether or not you guys feel that college is worth it, in today’s society. Now I recognize that there are doctors and lawyers among us, and your education was certainly necessary and worth it. But I see an increasing number of people being successful without college education, and I truly believe that when the time comes I’m not going to push college on my children. FYI, we have four kids under the age of seven, so we have a while. But assuming There aren’t big changes to the educational system, I really don’t feel that I’m going to make my kids go to college if they want to pursue trades or other opportunities. If you haven’t, do some research on the rising cost of a college education. It’s eye-opening to say the least. All this said, I have a few questions for you guys.
A: what is your highest level of education?
B: For those of you with degrees, do you directly use your degree in your field?
C: given your income vs college debt (if any), or the overall expense in general, was your time in college worth it in the big picture ?
Mine
A- associates in instrumentation/electric
B- nope! In a sales role with the same company for 8 years now.
C- no debt, but put myself through college. It would be nice to have some of that money back.
