Ask any current college student whether they think the content of their courses are actually worth the cost, or if they're just there to get the piece of paper at the end.

In my anecdotal experience, I would say about 25% of my courses are actually worthwhile and not total busywork. Even then, all of the information is readily available online anyway

Honestly, its hard to not see college like an obstacle course at times. Just arbitrary requirements with little relation to the real world you gotta complete just to show to employers that you could.
