I'm not denying there are still good career paths that go through college; but they're shrinking. The H1B visa program watered down the markets for a lot of tech and engineering jobs so the return on that investment is less than it should be. Additionally a lot of these jobs are getting fucked by AI replacement, anything that entails thinking, writing, drafting and doing calculations is getting replaced so you need to pick a field that can't be replaced.

The fact that college degree work doesn't require you to do manual labor has ironically made it susceptible to AI replacement since a machine can more easily be made to think and calculate than it can to go do the wiring in a house.
