    College. It’s not that you won’t get an education it’s that an education doesn’t guarantee a good job - you need connections for that. I heard college described as a way to launder privilege and it’s hard to disagree. Some non privileged have to succeed for that to be effective but it doesn’t matter who or for what. That said, I think it’s a better bet to get an education than not but don’t expect high pay to be guaranteed. Definitely recommend having a solid plan for the job you want and taking classes specifically to get there.
