Dan,

With respect to your statement "College is a scam," I must disagree. What you take from higher education (or any education, really) largely depends on what you put into it, and your attitude in the process.

As such, I suggest that if you go to school simply so you can get a better job, or a job in a specific field, the scope of your learning will be rather narrow. This might cause some discontent if you start your new job and find it unsatisfactory, or if you cannot find a job in your new field.

On the other hand, if you go to school to enrich yourself through critical thinking, the improvement of important skills (i.e. verbal, quantitative, reasoning), and interaction with a diverse group of people, you might find the end result a bit more satisfying.
