Don’t “work your way through college”, learn a trade, or just spend a year working, even if you have to stay at home to save on room and board.
Few things REQUIRE a degree, and even without the communist indoctrination the courses usually don’t convey information.
Many courses are on the internet, and even deep tutorials and forums where you could learn everything you need and actually be able to do it.
Even tech. I’d rather hire someone that spent a year reading and doing things for 3d printing, electronics, and software from adafruit.com or sparkfun.com than a baccalaureate from a university, epecially when I could see a portfolio of working projects, opensource contributions, and written documentation (with correct spelling and grammar) MIT has courses online. Most math and science is written up at Infogalactic.com (cloned wikipedia and they need and welcome editors that will fix the lefty spin).
Credentials of all kinds have been inflated – both in price and in meaninglessness.
Being able to show you can actually do something because you’ve already done it is the real gold. Not everywhere, but in the places that will survive. Those with converged HR departements that just look at credentials and purge the productive will eventually go bankrupt.
Do something useful, that others really need and will pay you for, and find opportunities.
You will not only not waste 4 of your most productive years accumulating debt, you will be able to launch and soar and still be around when the facade jobs collapse.
Some fields require a college degree. STEM fields of study, physics, engineering, mathemtics, etc., require the individual to obtain a bachelors degree at a minimum in order to be employed in that field.
I speak from experience, as I have a bachelors degree in engineering physics and a PhD in physics. It doesn’t hurt to study on your own outside of the confines od degree granting institutions, but if one wishes to work in that field a degree is a necessay.
I would agree 100% that one should work their way through school if that is the route they take. Start at a community college first to finish the first 2 years of school, and live at hkme if possible. A career in the STEM fields is very rewarding mentally and financially. One doesnt have to take a full work load (12+ hours) either.
