I think it's worth it to an extent. I really think college gives you experience with many different things that you will need to know how to handle in the real world, but a lot of the curriculum that teaches you things that you will NEVER need, I think is completely useless and is just draining people of hard earned money.
I, myself, really want to go back just so I can finish my Associates for God's sake, just to have a degree of some sort. However, I've found that my real life experience in manufacturing has had a much larger impact on my current career, and probably wouldn't have helped any even if I had a degree.
I'm really on the fence. I think it has pros and cons, but I do see more and more people going into debt from student loans, and not being able to find jobs because they have taken on studies and a major that isn't exactly flourishing in today's society.
