College is something many people find important, worth the time and necessary. However, what it is important to remember is finding the career path that is right for you. Going to college may or may not be worth it if you have not decided what you want to do in life. Additionally, some careers don't require a college education. Always follow your passions and do what you love; that will help you choose the right path.

If you choose what you love and if you love what you do, then yes, it's way worth it.

100% depends. If you're going because you know what you want to do in life and college is a necessary step to reach that goal, then of course. If you're going to college because society says that's the next step? Maybe, maybe not. The problem is many people go to college because they feel they have to. They then waste a ton of money on classes, trying to find something they like for a degree. And then many never use the degree.

That depends. Are you happy with college? Do you like your professors? Are you satisfied with your courses or do you want to change them? Answer these questions honestly. If you're satisfied with college, yes. If not, no.

Oh course it is! If it's something you want to do, then by all means do it. My mom always tells me when I'm feeling unsure about it, it's an investment in yourself and there is nothing wrong with wanting to do that. Be sure to take this opportunity not only educate yourself but to discover other things about yourself. Passions, hobbies; don't be afraid to try things you've always wanted to do. The people you meet are great because they are (mostly) like-minded and you'll make wonderful friends. Do your research, make a decision you feel is best when you look at colleges and be your own person.

What do you want by the end of your life? What do you think will make you happy? If your answer is anything non career-specific eg. money, love, friends, well these are not things you necessarily need college for, so you have to ask yourself why you're really paying for that tuition.
But if you want to be a doctor, or a lawyer, or any of these careers that require a degree, then hey, college is pretty much required. But then I would caution that you should ask yourself why you're choosing these careers in the first place. I find that when it really boils down to it, a lot of people who think they want to be doctors actually just want a high paying job. If you want good money, you don't need to go to college for it.
Just some things to consider.

Despite all you may have already heard, going to College remains financially sound. From my personal experience, going to College may mean take on student loans. While it’s never a good idea to fall into debt, going into College is one of the most direct paths to a decent job and pay. However, is College the only way? No. So, it’s always good to re-examine your goals, what you would like to achieve in your professional life and make a decision you can live with. At the end of the day, the decision rests on you. I am confident you will make the right decision upon reviewing available data and your life situation. Good luck!

Going to college is a choice that only you can make. The experience is different for everyone. For me, going to university was always something I knew I wanted and needed to do for my career so I never saw any other option. But outside of my career, university helped me to grow as a person. I feel like I would have never become the version of myself that I am right now if it was not for the friends I made, the relationships I had, the classes I took, the lecturers I had to mentor me or the clubs I joined. The same goes for all the assignments I failed as well as the friends I lost because I had to focus on school things. They all helped me to discover parts of myself I didn't know existed. I got to find my priorities and my simple joys and my strengths and weakness and I learned how to grow. And even now that I've graduated, I'm still learning things from the experiences that I had. I can look back and see the growth. And to me, even if the qualification doesn't turn out to be as useful as you'd hoped, the experiences are so worth it. As long as you approach college with the right attitude and be determined to get more than just a classroom education that it's absolutely worth it in the end.

It depends on what you mean by worth it. Worth the experience? Definitely. I think anything you do is “worth it†even if you don’t get the results that you anticipated receiving. Maybe you go to college and find out that it’s not for you, at least you know now. Maybe it’s the connections and friends that make it worth it. Or maybe you complete the degree you went in for and make it a career. The possibilities are truest endless and I think wherever you go and whatever you decide on, you will receive lessons and experience that is irreplaceable to help you become who you are meant to be.
