Is College Worth It?
Dunno. Going to depend on what you want from college.

Is A Good College Worth It?
Yes. And where I am from, good colleges are generally public college, as in almost free tuition. Hence incredibly hard to get into.

In my college, which I consider a good college, Computer Science was taught as Computer Science, not just computer programming. We were taught that a program running is not always good enough, it should also be efficient. Principals like that, and how to look at a problem was the focus, and drilled into us. And despite me being a lazy student, I'd say I retain a surprising amount of it.

I have never once seen a YT video which focuses on stuff like that, and can take considerable time in real world programming for you to internalize.
