What if I don't care about the economic benefits? What if I just really want to learn something?

  That's free on the internet

    No, it's not. I don't have labs or fancy equipment necessary for a lot of things. Also, the classmates on the internet are mostly clowns and gamblers.

      You can fake a lot of lab equipment.

  Depends on what you need. For general knowledge or broad exploration, there are plenty of general education courses you can take at community colleges. However for specific knowledge that requires lab space or equipment you can't get at home, you generally need to enroll in a degree program nowadays.

    Thanks. That was a very kind answer. I must say my intent was only to show that college can offer things that the internet can't. While I don't have a degree myself (I am too old by now), I do see value in younger people getting one.

  Many colleges have night school for working adults who want to learn something.
