Complete and utter waste of money for most people. Go and get a one-year certificate for a trade or two-year degree if utterly necessary. Later in life if you truly need a four-year or higher to meet a specific goal...then maybe. GET A TRADE FIRST PEOPLE! That is what I told my kids and both of them have been glad they didn't dive in on a four-year degree at a young age not really knowing themselves or what they wanted in life. The debt that many people rack up for some of these four-year degrees is preposterous!
