    Silver lining, college is much less needed today than it was 10 years ago in many industries.

      Depends heavily on the career path. You can’t really be a registered nurse or a professional engineer or practice law without higher education. The service sector is a complete dead-end. Sales jobs are increasingly miserable and scammy. So much of the economy just… sucks. The jobs that aren’t completely soul-sucking tend to be the ones you need a degree to pursue.
