Is A College Degree Worthless These Days???

So many people are graduating college every year with tens of thousands of dollars of debt. Many of these graduates are having a hard time finding jobs that pay 50K+. It doesn't make sense to me to "invest" all of this money into system that doesn't give you a good ROI. Am I just biased and short sighted or am I missing something here? I'm open to all opinions...

College graduates make more money than high school graduates.

The more money you make in a W2 job, the better chance you have of saving money and having good credit.

The more money and better credit you have, the better chance you have of getting loans

Getting favorable loans gives you a better chance of scaling your real estate portfolio.

Bottom line, getting a college degree increases your chances of building a real estate portfolio.

If you get a degree, with the purpose of getting a high paying job, and dont get a high paying job, it's because you're not willing to do what it takes to get that job.
