College can be immensely valuable for those pursuing fields that require formal credentials and rigorous training. However, with the raise of blended/bootcamp education and significant financial burden of traditional degrees, it's critical to weigh the costs against the potential benefits.
The traditional 5-6 years of studying one core subject makes me a bit worried these days due to the speed of change in the current job market.
Ultimately, education should be a strategic choice, not an automatic one.
