Honest question for robots who actually went to college, why? Literally why? My brother wasted 4 years in college and is STILL in debt after 5 years only to get a job that didn't even need college. And that's the same thing most of you will do honestly.

It's the only way I know how to socialize. I spent 6 years getting my 2-year degree, another 3 completing my Bachelor's, was accepted into a graduate program and changed courses from going for a Master's to now aiming for a PhD. I am beyond archmage tier at this point.

The piece of paper is a nice little bonus and it keeps you off the family shitlist.
Honest answer: Not living in america, College is pretty much free, even the books.
It increases my pay later down the road and makes it easier to get a job. Also I really really enjoy the learning and the environment college puts me in
