Getting a college degree in this job economy is the biggest scam in America, and 63% of Americans agree with me. Colleges are still selling the pipe dream that more degrees equals more money, but in this AI job economy, that's just not true anymore. University curriculums are still stuck in the past, and they just cannot keep up with the fast-changing pace of technology. If you want to break into tech, do not go back to school and get another degree. You can learn high-demand skills for free with YouTube or other free tutorials and then build a project or portfolio that people actually care about. This is the formula that will actually get you hired in this economy, not a useless degree or another useless certificate. Have you seen this shift too, and do you think college is still worth it? Let me know in the comments.
