Much depends on what you choose to study in college. One can easily get an advanced degree without picking up critical-thinking skills.

Whether critical-thinking skills are actually valuable for making money or personal happiness are something perhaps left to philosophy or theology departments.

>Whether critical-thinking skills are actually valuable for making money

if you know when to keep your mouth shut and when to speak up, i'd say yes.

>personal happiness

certainly not. an analytical mindset rarely exposes the happy truths, which tend to be self-evident
