This is a misinformed opinion. Even those small minority of dropouts who hit it big still went to college for some period of time. I agree college is a waste of one's time if a degree in gender studies, art, or some other bullsh*t is the end goal. But if you are going to study STEM or something in the financial sector it is worth it.
There is definitely an epidemic in this nation of people who shouldn't be going to college going to college and getting useless degrees.
