Is college essential?

LC

I stole this question from Bobi Ross who had the post on argue for or against “said” topic. I thought it was worthy of having a post all on its own.

Most people (In my circle) instill that going to college is the only way you can make a decent living. Maybe that’s more of the older generation that thinks that as the millennial generation sees things differently.

Question: A college/university education is or isn’t essential to getting a good job?
