Seeing as most people with degrees can't even get a job, so you just end up with debt with no money to pay it back. Is it actually worth going?

and it looks better on a resume to have something under the education section than not...go to schoolIt all depends on the degree you're pursuing.

This is a question that is hard to answer with a simple yes or no. The important thing to remember is that you should not go to school for a job, you should go to school to learn. Whether or not the thing(s) you learn about will lead to gainful employment is another question entirely. However, learning in college is not the determining factor in getting a job and beginning a career; your network is. It is (and has always been) not what you know, but who you know. The time you spend volunteering, networking, and participating in groups/clubs is the second most important thing you can do in college other than studying.
If you just want a job, college might not be necessary. Trade schools are a great option, and blue collar work is and always will be in demand. Welding, plumbing, eletricial work, etc have high demands and frequently start at a higher wage than most entry level jobs that require a degree. If I had the chance to go back, I'd probably go to a trade school start at 50K with no debt.
What you need to do is decide on how you want to spend the next few decades of your life. From there, determine the best path forward.
And the university..

you have to do things/meet people in college that will get you a job
its not just about going to classes and passing exams
IMO the only degrees that are worth pursing are STEM and a few business degrees (accounting,finance,etc), besides that I think degrees are a waste of money. Some people graduate with some bs degree (philosophy, history, english, etc) and graduate making 25K-30K starting out, that is a waste of time in my mind. Most of these jobs will eventually be replaced by computers if you are going to school get a degree that will land you in a field that is in demand and will not be replaced in the next 10-15 years.
Also, it is key to not come out with an outrageous amount of debt.
