I’m in college right now, so it might not be as relevant as others who have graduated and used their degrees (or not), but I would say it really depends. College obviously is expensive, and depending on the degree you go for as well as what it’s for can help or do nothing. For example, if your going to do power line work, you dont really need a degree unless your the person planning the project or leading everyone in the task. However, if you want to do welding or mechanic work on machines, you do need a degree and it will help you, not only in getting the job and better pay, but also in minor experience before you even start working.
