Yes, college costs much more than it did when I was a student in the early 90s. But I almost went to a trade school (which I get works for a lot of people). My life would have taken a completely different trajectory. And I would have never become the social justice advocate I’ve had the fortune of being. College gets my vote.
I still believe attending college has value, but it is certainly true that in my life, of all of the jobs that I have had, only a few, brief ones have been as a result of what I studied in college.
And I would most definitely be more hesitant looking at $100,000 in debt (or more) rather than the $10,000 I graduated with.
