    I wasn’t making an argument, just a factual statement. You’re welcome to infer from that whatever you wish.

      So here’s where I am.

      I understand what you said was true, however, in my opinion it is not applicable to what was being discussed - ie attending college.

      Yes. You do not need to go to college to have a well paying job.

      However, there are jobs that do require college. Like being a doctor. Or molecular biologist. Or astronomer. Or engineer. Right?

      Those are valid jubs, just like the job you’ve mentioned.

      But just because you can get a job that doesn’t require a degree, doesn’t mean that jobs that do require a degree aren’t worth getting.

      And to get that degree - it costs too much money.

      That’s all I’m getting at.
