with a masters, if you go to medical school, you can make entry of 80k-100k salary.

@barcow

but my 'passion and interest' is not aimed towards the 'medical field'...

Doing math off the top of your head from numbers approximated off the top out of your head.

Most practical degrees you make more then $40k.

@movcrit

where have you been hiding the past few years...even practical degrees out of college...if you can even find openings in addition to the lack of experience 'desired' for positions and competition with seasoned professions trying to recover from the economy... you may be right that most practical degrees you can make more than 40k, if you can even get the job or any job, rising number of people with practical degrees doing jobs not in their field of study

Dang. If an Asian is so skeptical of college education then things must be screwed up in America....lol.

The fact that you mention the "past few years" is a tell that your arguments and opinion are reflective of the recent (since 2008) economic turmoil and not the college education. A college education is never a guarantee of a job, but neither is a high school diploma or a trade school cert. Furthermore, the longer you wait before doing an education after high school, the less chances you'll ever go back to school and make it.

[movcrit]

One thing a job-seeker must learn is that an education isn't everything obviously, but there are things which an education process can help you with: such as networking, experience, and security clearance.

@phoenixmythics What other options do you have?

1. Hope to get a $10 hour job? As a high school graduate with little to no experience you'll be hard pressed to be able to find a job when you compete with college graduates.

2. Go to trade school, get out and be faced with the same prospects of no jobs? Then go back to option1.

3. Go to college, get out and be faced with the same prospects of no jobs? Then go back to option 1.

@phoenixmythics But then its no longer an argument against college degrees but merely a complaint about a struggling economy.
