What did you spend your money on?
A degree focusing on intensive career training in a field that is highly demanded, and networking,...
or a "life experience" and a degree in underwater basket weaving?
I mean I get why people like being edgy about this, but the statistics don't lie. A bachelor's degree on average increases weekly pay by about 50% over an associate degree or trade/apprenticeship. You can absolutely make a good living without a degree, but they are definitely worth the cost for most people.
