This is the correct answer.
Unless you’re trying to become a lawyer, Dr, engineer or something of that nature, college is a waste of time. It’s fun no doubt but a waste of time. You’ll learn a lot more of how the world works on a job site than you will in a classroom by some far left professor.

You aren’t wrong, but I always get a chuckle out of the pervasiveness of these responses.
Guys, not everyone wants to work at a construction site or in a plant.

Academia is so fricking out of touch with industry today, even in engineering school

Shouldn’t Louisiana high schools introduce some courses in these HVAC trades and what not, so that people aren’t totally green when they hit the work force? High schools should find a way to implement classes that teach these boys some basic skills with tools.

This is dumb. I can’t believe (although knowing this board, I shouldn’t be surprised) the amount of people here saying not to go to college.

Agreed. A general business degree is pretty worthless these days.
I’m telling my kids to specialize in something. Whether it’s a trade, a doctor, attorney, engineer, accountant, etc.
