Unless you are getting a highly specialized degree these days, I just don't see how college is worth it over a trade school.

This is only practical if you plan on entering a trade.

If you don’t, the definitely go to college to explore subjects you’re interested in. Also, while there’s a movement in the corporate world today that is moving away from a degrees candidate to one that has more practical knowledge (it’s not a bad idea), there are still many more that place an emphasis on a degreed candidate mainly because it shows a prospective employer that you have some ability to follow through on things, be taught, and that you may have learned some practical skills already.
