For me I do not think it does really matter in todays world. I have started a small fund for both of my nephews to attend university if this is what they want to do when they are older.
It really does only matter for what you want to become for a profession. There is alot of people that are doing very good for not have university degree.
You can just learn a trade and be so good at it you do not need to attend the university. For me I do think it is a different way for people.
Is a college degree still valuable? My answer is yes, although not everyone with a degree can easily find a job today, as there are many avenues we can utilize to develop our skills and become successful individuals in this era of advanced technological development.
However, education remains important because it provides us with insight, ethics, and much more. If it were only for entrepreneurs, investors, marketers, or salespeople, perhaps a college degree wouldn't be as important. However, college is important for doctors, surgeons, dentists, accountants, ophthalmologists, engineers, scientists, and psychologists. So, this comes back to individual choice in viewing this issue. Many people even go to college but end up working in fields completely different from their chosen major. In other words, having a degree also opens up job opportunities.
