A college degree shows potential employers that a person is disciplined and can be trained. This is why college educated people often have and can get jobs that are not related to what they studied in college. A person without a degree still has to be trained to do something like be a mechanic, welder, truck driver, etc., or else they’re likely going to be working for minimum wages their entire life.
I graduated from a Christian college and I saw many Christian students lose their faith. The reason for this is NOT because their faith wasn’t that strong to begin with. That is a typical lame Christian apologetic argument that is easily disproved. In college a person often learns HOW to think. Once a person learns HOW to think for them self, they realize that the people who were telling them WHAT to think, their parents, don’t know what they are talking about. The student learns the difference between evidence and arguments and also learns not believe what they think (always question yourself) but only what they see. The uneducated masses from which we get people like Molotov Mitchell almost always believe what they think and not what the see. And what they think is what they’ve been TOLD to think, not ideas they’ve arrived at all by themselves.
One other important point about Christian colleges is that they all each science that disagrees with any kind of literal interpretation of the Bible such as evolutionary biology, Big Bang cosmology, old earth geology, etc. However I saw more students lose their faith in New Testament Greek classes than in biology or philosophy classes. When a person realizes the Bible doesn’t say what they’ve been told it says they often reject their Christian faith.
