This is not good advice. College degrees and advanced degrees are absolutely required to get into niche areas, which drives large parts of the economy. For context, I am about to finish my PhD with ZERO debt. A better way to put it is - don't go to college for the sake of going to college. Make sure to get a degree that teaches you in-demand skills and makes you employable (aka, no gender studies bs). If you're really worried about debt, there are a few ways to help that:
i) It's better to be a big fish in a smaller pond, than a small fish in a bigger pond. When choosing your college, instead of maxing out on where you can land, you can trade *a little bit* on the place to put yourself within the top 20% of the class, and being in the top 20% comes with a ton of advantages including getting fellowships, TA / RA etc.
ii) Learn a good work ethic and make sure to work at least 20 hours a week while in college to pay your bills. I was studying in -redacted- where I learned this work ethic: treat your college and part time work as a full time job. Allocate 40-60 hours a week and have a regular 8-5 schedule you will spend either at your work or university doing classes and finishing homework. The rest of the time is for your social life and professional development, and not to do school related work.
iii) Consider doing your college degree abroad. Most European countries offer *free* college education and it is a great opportunity to learn a new language, live in a different country, and be the exotic piece of ass on campus. This will, in most cases, require some groundwork in middle and high school to take language classes.
I hope this helps.
