some high school dropouts have become stock brokers. College does not guarantee success. College does a great job of producing great cogs in the wheels of society. (I worked side by side with people with law degrees and accounting degrees delivering pizza's. ) College does not guarantee that you will get a job or be a success. College degrees look good on a resume, but when everyone has one, you are just another person looking for a job. My X-Husband had two doctoral degrees, one in math and one in computer science, and he went bankrupt and could not get a job because he was "over qualified." He delivered pizzas for a while and started a mail order and network marketing business and became a member of the Millionaires club. He's doing quite well working for himself and all of his college didn't contribute much to that. Interesting... I just did a generic search on monster.com and typed in engineering.. I went to page 50 of job openings..There are probably many many more I think it suffices to say that someone with that type of background doesn't have to work delivering pizzas.. For anyone to imply that someone without a degree can compete with someone that has a degree in science or engineering is not living in reality.. That last comment isn't directed at you JB just a general observation |

College is increasingly obsolete. The cost/benefit ratio is dropping like a rock. I encourage anyone interested in a BA to get it online. There are accredited universities which allow one to do distance studying at a fraction of the cost of a university. It's just as valid to employers, and doesn't come with the insane price tag. Save the extra money for grad school if it's necessary. Are you talking about strictly online colleges, or actual Universities who offer their courses online as well? If it's an actual university, I don't think the price is any different. Also, for what fields do you think college is becoming obsolete? |

That last comment isn't directed at you JB just a general observation You are also probably looking at a large area. My Husband was looking for work in Colorado, and it was 20 years ago. I would not call him an "engineer." His education was in math and computer science. There are jobs that someone without a degree CAN compete with someone with a degree. Garbage collector comes to mind, and other labor type jobs. A person with two doctorates in math and computer science is not likely to be hired as a store manager etc. |

I'm still wondering about these cheap online schools he was talking about. The online schools I know of are usually more expensive. |

It's called the Early College High School Initiative. http://www.earlycolleges.org/ I first heard of the concept from one of Gary North's columns-http://www.lewrockwell.com/north/north988.html |

Advanced Placement classes. This sounds different than what you first mentioned about just getting your education online, as many "online colleges" are quite a bit more expensive than other universities. And you never did answer my question. For what fields do you think college is becoming obsolete? Also, a lower cost option to get all the basic requirements out of the way is going to community college first. |
