In my opinion, I think college degrees are definitely worth the time and effort for economic and social success if it suits your major. Most of the jobs today actually require a college degree for an individual to even be considered for the job they have applied for. People value a college degree more than what someone says they know. For majors such as medical or engineering, having a college degree helps the person doing the hiring know that you've studied the material and are more fond of it than if you were to just walk on and start without any prior education on the subject. However, this may not be true for all occupations. It honestly depends on what field a person in entering and what is required to obtain that profession.
From what I've learned, the German school systems offer a wider variety of schools based on how they learn and/or what they plan on doing with their life after high school and college. Students are eligible to go to a slower paced school with some vocational courses, a school for students with higher academic achievements, one that prepares them for college and offers dual credit as well as vocational courses, a more comprehensive school, or a school that has a combination of apprenticeship and part-time academic study. In the United States, everything is pretty much the same for all schools in each state. We each learn the same thing that everyone else is learning whether it is advanced by a year or not. We're not necessarily given a choice of different school types that you and your family can choose from. Therefore, the German school systems are more open and diverse in academics and opportunities.
