Collage is a scam 100%
The cost is a scam, and the current work environment is a scam, so if you think of college as only being useful as a way to pay money for a better job, then sure, it's a scam, but it's more than that. It's about learning for the sake of learning, and taking your first real steps into adulthood with a group of people doing the same.
It sucks that boomers talked about it like it's some sort of "get rich quick" scheme that doesn't even work, but even during their own halcyon days of higher education, the job opportunities were only the secondary benefit next to college's actual purpose of being a useful extra step between childhood and functional adulthood.
You're mostly right about the benefits of college, but this idea of a transition into functional adulthood is outdated. It reflects a bygone era of the job market.
After graduating college and being unable to find a job, I am much less functional and significantly less adult.
Having a job may be functional on a practical level, but in today's job market, employability is no longer a reflection of who you are as a person, and shouldn't be used to determine whether or not you're an "adult." By "functional adulthood" I meant things like the ability to socialize, and the ability to think rationally about complex problems like politics and religion instead of just blindly following whatever your parents said was right. People don't always learn those skills, but there's a reason that republicans often think of college as "indoctrination," because their kids keep coming back with different beliefs than the ones they left with.
Totally depends on who's painting the collage. Some are quite well done.
One's best bet though, is to attend college and not chance bad painting.
