I would have to say that Yes college is a waste of time. The College Bubble is coming within then next 5 - 10 years. Many people will tell you that college is worth it, and right now it seems to be due to college grads having a lower unemployment rate. But that is due mainly with a few things. First, there is still a stigma attached to people that do not have college degrees. Second, many Human Resource employees are female, and females tend to put more value in a college education than males. Also, our Politically Correct society is bending over backwards to hire minorities (Black, Female) with college degrees, even though there are more qualified candidates out there. In all honesty, most of these college grads do not learn anything other than being trained to study for tests, do homework, write papers, etc. 1/2 of their time is spent studying subjects that are not related to their major, which then just distracts them from actually studying what they want to go into. 1/2 of students have no idea what to major in because they have no idea of what they like to do because they have not really worked in the real world yet. 80% of what you studied is forgotten because students just crammed for an exam the night before, 1/2 their time is spent on useless subjects, and they have not been able to apply what they are learning to real life work. Most college grads need to be trained when they get their first job because they didn't learn anything in college. Parents and students have been brainwashed to think a college degree has value. It doesn't have much value. . . .which we will see in the near future after the bubble pops. College is a Cash Cow for those overpaid tenured Liberal professors that will tell you to go into this or that or just tell you just get your degree. . . but then when you can't find a job they still get their pay. Why do people think you can learn more sitting in a classroom listening to an overpaid professor talk about a subject that they probably do not actually work in. Most of what you need to do a job is to actually just get out there, get a job, show some initiative, and work hard.
If I could do it over again, I would probably not have went to college, but started working after high school and go into a trade school and open my own business. Then I could have hired some dumb college kid to work for me.
He is right. And this following Youtube video also explains why college is a fraud.

It is a waste of money and time. Let's just be honest. You can learn most things off of the Internet anyways. I am not against being well educated, but you don't need to go to college to be well-educated. All you need for a good education is a good Internet connection.
I noticed since my first year in college that I was learning more stuff on the Internet than from my college courses. My bottom line is you can learn pretty much everything online nowadays, so why the heck I am wasting tens of thousands of dollars to get a stupid college degree in order to get "educated"?
Let's be honest. The ONLY reason anyone goes to college nowadays is to get a higher paying job. It is all about money. Capitalism is a scam, and college is supported by capitalism. College is just a business. All they care about is making money. The only reason anyone goes to college anymore is to make more money since you apparently "need" a college degree to get into most higher paying jobs. Apparently, if you only have a high school education, you can only be a cashier at Walmart for the rest of your life.
But let's be honest. Nobody wastes their money to go to college for becoming educated. It is all about the few extra bucks they can make from getting "educated" in college.
