all depends on the job and field like everyone else is saying. Going for a generic degree is useless, like business so broad and can mean so many things.

Add on the crazy student loans you will likely occur and not make even close to the money you should make in order to pay them off.

I'm living that life. I'm 25 and dropped out of college and still have student loans, not as much as some but still have some. However, i was motivated unlike most and knew I wasn't going to live at home and be a bum. I started selling cars in 2012 and 8 months ago became the youngest manager in the company going into finance. I have no degree to show for it but I have a 6 figure job and own a home at 25 from hard work and determination. It sounds cliche but its how I did it.

I know so many kids my age, a little older, or even younger still living at home, have dead end jobs and nothing to show from their degree. It only means something if you go for a specific purpose and continue to pursue that career.
