College is a tool that can help you if used properly.

Many people end up in different fields than they studied, but that doesn't change the fact that people with college degrees, on average, make about 50% more than those who don't and will make about $1 million more during their lifetime.

That said, if you don't know what you want to do and you can't get scholarships/grants to pay for much of the college, don't waste your money until you know what you want to do. Also, going to trade schools, getting an apprenticeship etc. is a fantastic option for a lot of people who don't want to go to college or what to do some other type of trade.
