This is true, once you are finding for a job most company were looking for a long experience than fresh graduates. So how can you find a job without experience since a lot of company doesn't even care about fresh graduates? For me having a degree for the course or field you like, it can be applicable in the future once you have a proper experience. I know a lot of millionaires who are undergraduates due to they pursue on business , trading and investing rather than wasting their time in college. But there's no guarantee that you'll success if you are more on talk than actions because knowledge is the key to success so if you're not doing anything to improve then you won't succeed. But lastly, its still up to the OP its his path to choose in his life. For me, I choose both since I can maintain my time by trading and learning.
