I wouldn’t go that far.... I enhanced my marketable skill set in college, and I learned how to push through 4 years of stuff I really didn’t care for that was not directly related to my degree in order to achieve my goals, as well as how to navigate a faceless bureaucracy over those 4 years effectively.

However I got a degree in a scientific field... a liberal arts degree in general isn’t the best choice if you are looking for marketable skills.

Of course with that said, given the cost of such a degree today, and the wage expectation for it... I would probably not have done college today... but a trade school.

I spent about 20k on my degree, and walked into a 40k a year job.... Today that same degree at the same university would be 80k and the job would be around 50k.... ROI is not worth it.
