There are a number of things to look at. Some points of the current / future worth of a degree are: 1. The rising cost of college education and the loans required to pay for it is skyrocketing. If you have little kids, expect to be paying over $1000.00 a month just to make the minimum payments. 2. The career choice is key to making money. If you get a 4 year degree in social work, you will have a hard time even paying you school loans let alone other bills. On the other hand, if you go into engineering, 6 figures is a realistic goal. 3. A lot of well paying jobs require experience and certifications. Most people in IT and housing industries just get certifications to make large amounts of money. No 4 year degree required, but there is an expense to this as well. However, substantially less time and money than a 4 year degree.
