WriteDen: My personal answer: Yes and No, as it depends. College has many benefits including social, cultural, political and in terms of maturity. However, it’s not the only way for a number of careers. And likely not my recommendation unless required to enter the field. Mostly because of the expense and lack of actionable advice and experience that propels someone to execute vs becoming over analytical and not taking action.
