For anything but stem or an mba from a top 10, yes

Yes. Next question

Yeah, pretty much.
Do you know what's a bigger meme? How much I get paid to waste four hours of a student's week.

Its a disruption of society with no good cause
Most people should far more focus on their local existence
From that also arises reasonable life expectancies and needs
University should be for some, not to deny knowledge, but to let it fit society
Not considering the questionable courses they teach you nowadays

Trivial work should never be looked down upon

for free? maybe not
for cost? kek

If you just want to be a slave it's probably the best time of your life.

I'm assuming your college is the equivalent of our university. As someone who just finished suffering through a STEM/Engineering degree its mostly a meme,
> First year is a fucking farce, most classes go over shit from high school to ensure everyone is on the same level (what even is the point of a foundation year?). Everyone just drinks and whores themselves around.
> Second and Third years get harder in terms of material, but a lot of it is just fluff (basic finance modules that are just learning to use excel to make a balance sheet, sustainability modules that are complete wank, management modules in which you just learn theory that never actually applies to managing real projects, I even had one module on workplace management that was such bullshit that I didn't sit the exam for because I had enough credits from other modules that I could pass the year). The only saving grace is final year projects where you design and make a prototype of an original design.
> Masters years are sold as "you get to refine your education and hone in to do what you want" but its more of what you did in previous years where you are given a bunch of compulsory modules that are un-engaging and distract you from what you want to do, so your work ends up being scattered and crap.
> Universities focus more on student retention than teaching, they cram as many students in as possible so all facilities like gyms, pools, recreation rooms, etc. are permanently over capacity and you cant get a workout in unless you go at 4am and even then the fucking elite boxing team beat you to the gym.
> Student union politics, post is too long to go into detail but fuck them
The only real benefit of further education is networking with professionals and institutions, and getting work placements through the school. I've managed to work with some pretty reputable companies before even graduating through placement schemes and summer internships. Hopefully some of this applies to American College.

My niece studied at university and has a degree, now sells clothes lmao

no. if you're smarter than half the people you've ever met in your life (counting adults teachers bosses), go to college.
