So why work so hard for nothing? its just going to be a piece of paper that will rot away with time and no one will care.

This logic is undebatable... but you can try.

Sure you might get something out of the classes, but the paper is just a paper. You pay $50,000 for a piece of paper, and then you don't get a job because of affirmative action.

Affirmative action is a myth in many ways. Hiring process has a lot more to do than race and ethnicity.

If you enjoy your time in college then this entire argument is moot. Plus having a college degree can lead to a better job, better relationships, better stability etc. Of course if you feel that none of that is important either then I'm assuming nothing is.

You don't need a piece of paper or to go to a top college to be happy. The argument that it leads to better things is flawed.

why brush and floss teeth and go to the dentist, you are just going to lose your teeth if you live long enough...I mean we can apply this thinking to anything. You actually sound like my kids. Why make our beds we just mess them up again..

Those examples are flawed. You need your teeth, so you have to take care of them. You can't apply my argument to everything. A college degree isn't life or death. You are flawed and your kids are flawed.

You don't need a college degree to be happy, that's true. The argument that it leads to better things is not flawed. Even in none college degree fields a college degree is beneficial. For example in America a dishwasher w/ a college degree earns 2x more than one w/o, even though no degree is necessary for the job. Then you've got corporate positions that you can't attain w/o a degree period.

There's the obvious financial benefits of attending college, but then there's also the education and intellectual furthering that you experience that lasts a lifetime. Plus, a lot of people really enjoy their time in college.

Well for one just getting accepted into Columbia is an achievement that will last a lifetime considering the fact that the so few people actually get in. Some people want to attain hard to reach goals, and since Columbia is essentially the top 1% or higher of the population just attending is a huge honor, and honestly that means something.

I've been saying the same thing for years TC but I like money so that's why I'm getting a college degree. California is an expensive place to live anyway.
