re: Is undergrad college worth it?

Real world example. I know a guy who went to a juco to play sports with the intention of going on to a 4 year school. But he got offered a pretty good job after getting his associates degree and never went back. It never hindered him and he made steady upward career progress until he got laid off in a company wide reorganization. He went from making six figures to not being able to get an interview. He's been out of work for three years and his prospects don't look good for anything approaching his former salary and responsibility. He's a middle aged guy without a bachelor's degree and that's reason enough for him not to make the callback list.
