Havesomeseichel, agreed 100%.
There are 3 questions being debated:
1. Is college a chiyuv to become a better Jew?
2. Is it muttar to go to college for to learn secular studies for the sake of secular studies?
3. Is it muttar to go for parnassah?
Even Joseph is modeh to #3, so the only debate is 1 & 2.
