It opens doors. Once I finished mine it got me into the rooms for the interviews. It’s nothing more than an additional bonus qualification. I definitely use my knowledge from college in a variety of scenarios whereas my colleagues have experience.

You don’t need a formal education to be great in your field, but it will help ypu grow immensely.

It depends per case, my friend kept studying while I dropped out (due to private circumstances).
My friend ended up at the same employer for the same pay only years later, he wasn’t a good fit for his field.
A few years later I jumped ship to try and develop myself into a better paid job, I am now an actual crane operator with a beefy wage. My friend is still there making the same low wage.
But he got lucky on a different matter, due to him living at home until 33 he did manage to buy a house with massive savings. I haven’t yet.
This is life, there aren’t any given certainties. Only people who claim their experience will be the same for you.

Who the fuck studies until he’s 33 and earn less than a crane operator

He didn’t study until he was 33, he lived with his parents until he was 33.
