College is a complete waste of time and money. In the United States it's run as a business. Students are going into debt for a worthless piece of paper.

The most intelligent people I know didn't attend college. College just means you obey authority and are not able to carve out a path on your own.

In business you can often "carve out a path of your own". But times have changed and most well paid professions require a qualification.
Even when you are running a business some of the professional licenses require qualifications to obtain.

Apart from all the obvious choices like Computer Science, Commerce, Law, Sciences, Medicine etc.

There are some real interesting choices out there. I thought the Arts would offer the most unusual choices but the Sciences offers some unusual choices too:

Chambres de Métiers et de lArtisanat offers a degree in Taxidermy.

Oaksterdam University offers a degree in cannabis cultivation.

Or you could do a degree in something like Puppetry, Gender studies, Surf Science, Turfgrass Science or Fermentation Science.
