"Worth it"? Depends on what "it" is. There was a time when college wasn't about vocational education ...

Is it worth spending 4 years learning about the history of your country and culture? Seeing a lot of great movies or concerts? Hanging out and enjoying life without lots of burdens before joining the rat race? Having the time to explore a lot of options to find out what you're really good at, or maybe discover some field or some country or some culture that you didn't know existed that changes your whole life?

College is what you make of it. It can be more than being trained like a lab rat. Some people even find friends who hire them later on!
