Sure, maybe for things like medicine and some other professions, but other than that, in this day and age with all the ways to learn and white collar workers under threat from AI, is the juice really worth the squeeze for most?
I don't think the golden path of going to college and get a higher-paying job really works anymore.
To be fair, I am a bit biased. Back when I was thinking about going to college (uni in England) to study Russian, I thought fuck it, i'll keep teaching myself, save money, and go to Russia instead. Whenever I'd meet the students there on their year abroad, I was always amazed at how shit they were at speaking, even from Ivy leagues.
what do you stackers think?
