The Importance Of Going To College

I want to to go to college for something that I love. When I’m done with college and have a job, I want to know that it was all worth it. My motivation isn’t my parents. My parents aren’t going to be there to make all my decisions and tell me what to do. Going to college is my ultimate decision. Secondly my ultimate motivation to go to college is for the money. I want to be able to support my future self and also my family when the time comes. Lastly I want to go to college so I can get a degree. Many jobs now a days require that you have a degree. According to the article “Even for Cashiers College Pays Off” by David Leonhardt he states, “ Education helps people do higher- skilled work, get jobs with better-paying companies or open their own businesses.” Many workers alike benefit from having a high-school diploma and a college degree. People acquire many valuable skills while in college. Either way, the skills that colleges teach, related to discipline and persistence, may be more valuable than academics. My motivation to keep going to and go to college has always been my own expectations of being able to to reach the highest point of success in doing what i want in

Why do students feel like they have to go to college? It is the norm to go to college right after high school because that is what everyone else does. The failure to complete college had been recognized as a personal problem. There are multiple responsibilities when it comes to going to college and some students are not quite ready to attend. Most students go to college for the wrong reasons, whether it is to get away from home or to have fun and party. With all the responsibilities that students have to uphold comes stress and even depression. About 33 percent of college students drop out of college for multiple reasons whether it is family issues, too much stress, full time job etc. Many students lack the funds in order to cover their tuition and other fees. This is one of the reasons why some students decide that dropping out of college is the answer. Attending college strengthens one’s knowledge and opens up their mind to new things. College students should stay in school, however,it is not for everyone. Students should not stay in college if they are not prepared or if they can not handle the pressure.

In today's world college is a major aspect of our society. However, many argue whether or not everyone should actually go to college. Not everyone should go to college for two main reasons. Not everyone that goes to college can graduate because they don't take it seriously or they are just not smart enough and they end up just wasting money. Second, not everyone can afford college and depending on what job you get, you might acquire so much debt it will very hard to pay off later and college might not be worth it.

The main reason people go to college is because they were always told you will have a better life if you go to college. Kids are pressured to feel that the have to go to college because, “it

After high school, many students make the decision on attending college based off of the things their parents/ teachers may have taught them when they were young. For example, many students further their education because throughout their lifetime they’re told they have to. In school we’re taught that in order for us to receive good jobs, and make a decent amount of money we have to have a college degree. Some are even taught that they must go beyond the undergrad and receive their masters, and doctorate degrees if they really want to be known as something in this world. While others go because it would make their parents proud, or to fulfill the legacy of being a first generation college student in their families. While this may be the case majority of the time, if you’re like me you go because

In our society today, college is something that one is expected to attend. Today, our place or position in society is mostly looked at by our education level rather than who the person truly is. Now society is also looking at this generation for us to know that to succeed, one might set high goals for their self, which means going to college and pursing a degree. On the other hand, there are some people in this world that graduated from high school and have never been to college and are just happy with their life like it is. There are two ways to look at this topic. One view is that college is worth the cost in the long run and another view is that college is not worth the cost at all. College is worth the cost. Yes, it can be expensive depending on where the high school graduate would like to attend, but education is something that is worth the cost and something one will never lose.

Throughout a student’s journey of schooling, college is mentioned hundreds of times. Maybe even thousands. Once they reach high school the next four years are dedicated to preparing for college. Some will feel overwhelmed by this thought and others may not. While a lot of people have the option to go, many decide not to. In Charles Murray’s article, Are Too Many People Going to College he discusses a few reasons why people might not choose college. Although in my own opinion it is not always necessary to attend college, I do believe it will benefit many people. Freeman Hrabowski’s article Colleges Prepare People for Life makes a point about benefits of college which I agree with.

Teens are constantly told by their parents that college is “ABSOLUTELY” necessary to be successful in this world. Fun fact: It’s not. College isn’t necessary because it isn’t required to be successful, and as many students have the mindset that college is the road to success, education has changed over time and it’s not as helpful as it used to be. Many schools build their students up to be a great student for a great college. But, when they go to the college to follow the dream that someone has set in their mind, they drop out and look at themselves as failures. All for what? For the approval of those who’ve pushed them to work for a dream that is not their own.

While going to college can help you succeed in life, it is not for everyone. Some people already know what they want to do after high school and don’t need a college education to accomplish it. On the other hand, others do attend college to find what they want to do and it just ends up being a waste of time and money. College should not be required for every high school graduate.

If college really is the road to success, then why doesn’t everyone go to college for knowing they will be successful in the long run? This question is something that almost every high school student goes through when they are in their final years of high school. Whether it is taking exhausting advanced placement classes, studying for an upcoming ACT test, working to receive community service hours, or filling out and ultimately submitting an application in hopes of getting accepted into college, being admitted to college can be an excruciating task at hand. Being a hard-working, focused high school student I find that college is the path that all teens should consider walking upon because of the opportunities of being more successful financially and mentally are more likely, the legacy and positive behavior can be looked up to by my future children, and the expenses that many fear of college will ultimately be nullified after some time once work has immense post-college.

Society has established in our minds that it is extremely important for us to go to college if we want to succeed in life. School as we know is not for everybody. Some of the most successful people in this world did not go to college including George Washington who is one of our founding fathers. People feel that college is the only way in which they can reach their dreams which is not true. With hard work and dedication you can go as far as you want in life. In college you learn what they give you to learn. Many of us just go to college because “it’s the right thing to do”. It gives you a title and nothing more. You can learn what you are doing at college with a simple click of a button at home. The Times had reported last spring that about fifty five percent of college graduates are working in jobs that need a college degree. (thechoice) These young college graduates are not developing

After graduating High School many young people dismiss the change of going to college. In fact many high school grads believe that going to college is a waste of time and is not really needed. When in reality going to college it will offer you many opportunities to succeed in life. By going to college it offers you a ticket to a higher earning salary. You learn how to use basic skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, reasoning and also learning how to manage your time effectively.

The “normal” for teenagers is to go through high school and then go off to college to learn more about common knowledge and their desired career path. This “normal” is enforced by teachers, relatives, and even peers. With all of these sources enforcing this idea upon current teenagers, it is causing some students to be pressured so much into just going to college after high school. Today’s students should not be pressured this much and this is not right because college is not for everyone, college is not cheap, and there are a lot of things that go along with becoming a college student.

The main reason most people go to college is not because they want to but because they have to. All throughout high school you're pressured by your guidance counselors and parents to go to college because it is the right path to take in life. Maybe not everyone is meant to go to college, and they might have a different calling in life. There are people who have never been to college and are doing way better than people

There are many reasons people attend college. Some people attend because they are expected to, either by their culture, their family or peer pressure. Other people have a desire to continue learning and want to go to college and still others do not know what they want to do with their life so they decide to attend college to explore their options. I choose to attend college right out of high school, but now 30 years later I am back. This time I am back in college because I work in an environment where I have been bullied to the point that I have no confidence in myself. I am back to prove something to myself.
