You get out of it what you put in.

If you want to learn a specialized skill and that's the best place to learn it, college is worth it.

If you want to build the beginnings of a professional network and you're good with people, college can be a great start to your career.

If you don't really want to go to college but your mom says you should go because otherwise you'll have to work a bad job... don't go. Just go into the workforce. College would be a waste of your time and money and energy.
