Is college still worth it… or have we been sold a lie?

My neighbor’s son just graduated college. He’s 24, has $80,000 in student loans… and is working part-time at a coffee shop. ☕ His dad said, “At least he has a degree.” I said, “But does it do anything anymore?” Back in the day, a college degree meant something. It opened doors. It was your ticket to the middle class. Now? It feels like a very expensive piece of paper. Meanwhile, plumbers, electricians, and truck drivers are making six figures—and they didn’t spend four years in a lecture hall. So I’ll ask the question: 👉 Is college still worth it… or have we been sold a lie? I’m not saying education isn’t valuable. I’m asking if the system still delivers what it promises. If you’re a parent or grandparent, what did you tell your kids about college? And looking back—was it the right advice? #CollegeDebt #HigherEducation #StudentLoans #ParentingQuestions #EducationSystem #AmericanDream #CollegeWorthIt #RealLifeSkills #CareerPaths #ParentingAdvice #GrandparentWisdom #LifeAfterCollege

Is College Really Worth It Nowadays?

Honestly, I keep asking myself if college is even worth it anymore. I mean, what's the point of dropping tens of thousands, maybe even more, just to end up with a degree that doesn't guarantee a damn job? It's downright frustrating! I'm seeing friends who didn’t go to college making solid money with no debt, while I'm juggling multiple jobs just to keep afloat. And let’s not even talk about the insane student loans hanging over my head. Don't get me wrong, education's important, but can we be real for a sec? The job market's brutal, and sometimes it feels like your degree is just a fancy piece of paper. So, I wonder, are we barking up the wrong tree by pushing college as the holy grail of success? Can't help but feel like there's gotta be a better way. 🤔 #JobMarketRealities #CollegeDebt #FutureProspects
