College is highly over-rated unless you are a professional, ie, doctor, lawyer, accountant or dentist. It has become a self-perpetuating enterprise just like secondary education, the war on drugs, war on crime, war on cancer, war on terror, etc. If your parents can afford the tuition, fine, but I don't see the point of going into debt to the tune of $100-200K and then having to work three jobs at Burger King and Home Depot because there are no real jobs anymore. I think the future of many young people today would be better served by learning a trade such as plumbing, HVAC repair, electrician, or auto repair.
