I have no regrets going to college. Most of my tuition was paid by the G.I. Bill.
There's no guarantee of any kind that you will ever get a job after you graduate. You will likely make less money than a person from a trade school.
You might be exposed to courses in ethics, the arts or critical thinking which may or may not translate to anything useful. You may use what you have learned to cheat, steal and lie.
You might have majored in philosophy and wondered what the hell you're doing with your life.
College is not for everyone nor should it be. If you want to be a billionaire entrepreneur, go to college and then quit as soon as possible.
However, if you're an average middle class schmuck and don't mind making a decent wage without doing a lot of manual work, college is a way to go.
