Editor's note: It is commonly believed one needs higher education in order to succeed, but is a college education really necessary? Is a university degree a prerequisite to success? Your comments are welcome.

I am in college but find the information I am being taught pretty much useless in the real world. Attending college is necessary to get a job in today's world but the actual information learned is a waste of time, and it is getting tough to land a good job even with a bachelor's degree.
