For most jobs, you don't really need a college education and there's an oversupply of liberal arts colleges (and not enough jobs that actually need that kind of a skill; there are some tech jobs that do require you to have some knowledge of perspective art, like environment creator in VFX or games etc. but not enough). Most people are wasting their money by enrolling in those colleges and employers are also being dumb by looking for those degrees that are barely useful for jobs like receptionist, store worker, bartender, janitor etc. The truth is that you should only be attending college if you're sure that it's going to get you paid enough that you can repay your debt, pay other bills and still have enough left for other expenses, i.e. the return on investment is high. Going to college for leisure (for example, you just wanted to learn something because you liked it a lot) is almost never worth it. On the other hand, if you want a technical job, like that of a programmer at Apple, you do need enough knowledge and skills that makes you at least as good as an engineering college graduate, whether you choose to attend college or not. Sometimes, colleges can be bad too, so you have to be careful about your choices. There's a special category that I've recently come across. There are some entertainers out there who aren't any smarter than LeBron James or Kim Kardashian, but live under the illusion that they have 200 IQ and think that they're A.I. or Iron Man. They should realize that their skill set isn't anything more than the two people I've mentioned previously, and if their fans on social media are feeding their narcissism and ego, then they should stop going online or engaging in competitive activities that make them feel so. 200 IQ isn't of any help if your skill set is that of a janitor. Even the show that they put up is only good enough for entertaining people and if it's not entertaining enough people, there's no reason to continue.
