@africamonetary; One key argument in favor of delaying or skipping college is that many jobs today, particularly in technology and other fast-evolving industries, prioritize skills and certifications over traditional degrees.
Companies such as Google and Adobe offer specific, often free, certifications that directly prepare students for jobs, providing practical training that a college degree may not offer. In many cases, a degree may seem irrelevant if real-world skills can be obtained more efficiently and at a lower cost through non-college programs.
