Absolutely. College is a must. Someone once approached me and told me he desperately needs a job. Can I help him? I asked what skills he has. He just gave me a blank look. I asked, “Accountant?” He said “no”. I said, “Computers?” A little. I said, I would love to help you find something, but you really have nothing that I can market to anyone.
Point being, when you suddenly realize that its the right time to find a job is not the time to go out and start getting educated in something.
Nowadays, you can get trained in all sorts of stuff without stepping foot in a college – internet (yes, many highly accredited colleges offer degrees online – I got mine from one), distance education and other means. Its great to be able to sit and learn for a few years, but use those years to prepare for after Kollel.
