I agree, if it were possible. In our society, having a college degree creates an illusion of knowledge that may or may not exist. It has been that way for a long time. Many job openings require the applicants to have a degree, but many applicants, who have a degree, have no more knowledge or capability as those without a degree. This is very true with Government jobs, where many jobs require a degree, but don't require any knowledge, intelligence, or skills at all. So, I recommend that every young person spend 4 years and get a degree. It will be time well spent that will provide an asset to use for the rest of your life. After all, what are you going to do for 4 years after high school that will really be worth more than a college degree?
