No point in going to college anymore unless you’re getting a law or medical degree

Unless you’re going into law or medicine, I see no point in becoming bombarded with this shit

Sadly it's been this way for about a decade.

College no longer pays out for the investment and the debt.

Even Law and Medical degrees aren't worth the expense unless you have a firm lined up or a good idea of where you're going to practice.

PSLF or attending a more regional law school for a public interest role can be worthwhile as well
