Top Reasons Why You ABSOLUTELY Need a College Degree
#7
You're not guaranteed a high-paying job if you get one, but I think you're more likely to get an offer than if you don't have a degree.

I would guess that, without a degree (or any tertiary education, such as trade school), you've probably got a 5-20% chance of landing a decent job these days.

On the other hand, you probably bump that up to a 75-80% chance if you do have a degree.

Some people will struggle regardless of degree status for a variety of other factors that may be entirely outside of their control (such as current location and/or ability to relocate). But that doesn't mean that degrees are bad. Only that expensive degrees are bad.
