EPISODE 233 "TO LEARN OR NOT: IS COLLEGE OVER RATED"

A higher education is a very expensive and RISKY investment. When you think about the number of college graduates who cant find employment IN THE FIELD IN WHICH THEY ARE TRAINED it almost makes you reconsider going to college. I have hear over and over that its not about what you know, but WHO you know in any field. So why not just get to know people in social settings, and skip the rest of it? Why not just wing it, unless you are in a field where that cause kill someone, like being a DOCTOR. The point is, a lot of college degrees are not worth the paper they are printed on. Some may say you need to get a degree in something that is hot like COMPUTER SCIENCE ..but what if you are not GOOD AT THAT! What if you ARE good at ART or SPORTS or HELPING PEOPLE? Should everyone get a degree in the same thing just because that is the field that is "hiring"? That makes no damn sense. But your FUTURE income is at stake here people. So I have a few questions class:

1) Do you think having a college degree is over rated? 2) If you do go to school, should you go for what you WANT to do or the field that is "hiring"  3) Is it MORALLY right to CHARGE someone to LEARN? (and if so WHY SO MUCH!)  4) How much does Education level matter for you when considering dating someone?  5) Do you think EDUCATION erases DISCRIMINATION in America?
