Is college worth it?

alot of people have grown up believing that you have to have a college degree to make it in the world;or that a college degree will help you get the best job out there. this may be true in some cases but not always. just because you have a college degree does not mean that you have the skills wanted for the job at which you are applying for. a college degree to me is just saying that you have went the extra step to learn how to do something that interest you. there are plenty of people that can do the same thing that someone went to college for and have been applying it in there life alot longer than them. a college degree is just a peice of paper that looks better. there are plenty of people with college degrees that cannot even get a job right now. the good thing about a college degree is you do expand your brain and learn more that what you would by stopping at high school. it also looks better when applying for a job that you have a college degree instead of someone without one unless that person just so happens to get an interview and has been doing that type of work for alot longer but most times that would not be the case.
