Is college worth it anymore?

Daily Debate #565: "Is college worth it anymore?". You are arguing AGAINST the motion. Your opponent: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Going to a physical college is not worth it anymore. You can do an online college, from home and have much more freedom.

That's backwards. Online degrees get filtered out by employers before humans even see them. You're trading four years of networking, internships, and credibility for convenience. Why would companies take the risk?

Companies are slowly losing interest in college degrees because of the increase in amount of everyday ai that is being used

That's actually the opposite. AI makes college MORE valuable, not less. Employers now need people who can think critically and adapt—skills only real education builds. A degree proves you can do that. Why would automation make credentials disappear?
