Cons Of Going To College

Some people may say that college isn’t worth going to. An example of someone who went to college but didn’t get a great future is my mother. My mother went to a two year college. She grew up in Pohnpei, Micronesia. She attended College of Micronesia, FSM. Her major was business and the one thing she wants to do if she was able to go back in time was finish her education and get a Masters degree. She didn’t choose to go to college as a business major, she went as a business major because of her father. Her father wanted her to go as a business major so that one day she can go back home and help with the family business. Beside the fact that she went to college but wants to go back, her life today is okay.( Ponapart,Regina) It’s hard for her to get a good paying job. She runs into some struggles and some miracles along the way. Then again who doesn’t run into some struggles in

There are many factors that play into someone’s choice of attending college: interests, goals, prior education level, intelligence, financial situation, as well as many others. The higher the cost of attending college and obtaining a degree goes, the more pertinent this question becomes to society. The type of job a person is planning on obtaining after he completes his college education greatly impacts the value of his degree. Acquiring a well-paying job after leaving college is the only way for a college graduate to effectively pay off his student loans. Before someone can earn a degree and enter into the workforce, they must do well and complete all of their years in college. If a student goes through college for one year or two and then drops out and enters the workforce, he has wasted his time and

Going to college comes with many benefits. However, you only gain them if you graduate. “The data make it clear that getting a college education is still a good idea – college graduates earn more, and are more likely to have a job in the first place – and is especially important for some Americans” (Rotherham). As Rotherham stated, data shows college is the right choice if you wish to have it easier as an adult getting a job and a higher salary than high school graduates. Although, some think college isn’t worth it because they think it’s like high school, except you have to pay for it. “You might think college is just high school continued, but it’s not. College opens doors for you… It can change and shape you in ways you can’t imagine” (bigfuture). College gives you many opportunities high school can’t. That is a reason why many students choose to go.

Ever wondered what comes after high school? There are two paths one can choose, either go to work and make a low wage or proceed to college to become successful. College is a valuable option that will provide more money, job opportunities and a chance to secure one's future.

After high school, there are so many possible roads to take. Whether it be going into the military, college, work, and or travel the world there are many endless possibilities. All of the seniors that graduate will most likely continue there scholar career at some sort of college, which is a good choice to make because once the graduates know what they want to be they can go and pursue it at the college level. Even though college can be expensive it will be worth it in the end when you graduate with a degree and use it with your everyday lifestyle. People who choose to go to college right after high school and not have a gap year is the right choice because they can get their careers started and not behind a year, they don't spend extra money on travel expenses, and once people stop going to school they will lose the motivation to go back to college.

When students graduate high school they are expected to go to college. That is the society norm. Many people will argue that the current generation needs to go to college, otherwise they will not be able to find a high paying job or have a successful career. In some cases that may be true, but it is not always the case. Few people are able to find a stable, and well-paying job straight out of high school. They are able to make money right away, and do not have to worry about student loans, and being in debt for

Many respectable and important jobs are available that do not require a college degree such as a dental hygienist or a web developer. Trade jobs, such as mechanics, do not require college degrees, yet are necessary for society. By making the decision to go straight into a career, individuals have the ability to learn as much as they can about their line of work instead of being stuck in irrelevant calculus classes for example. Some of the most well-known and successful billionaires in today’s society did not attend college, including Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerburg, and Bill Gates. By moving immediately into a job after high school, one is able to gain the necessary skills required for the career, and improve upon those skills

If students feel that a four-year university right out of high school isn’t what is best for them than the benefits of the university will do them more harm than good even if it is what is best for another student. Every student is different and life will prevail

The debate of whether going to college is worth it began when the colonists founded “New College”. It was later renamed to Harvard university. Colonists produced nine colleges that are still operating today. Some of the nine colleges  are Princeton University, Yale University and Brown University. Back then, the main goal of college was to produce Christian gentleman who would take over their family businesses. Now college is for an education that will lead to a job/career. In 2015, there is 20.2 million people attending college and there is an average student debt of over $28,950. The debate is still going on today.

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.

Going to college is a personal decision, not a public one. The decision whether or not to go to college should only be the student’s only, no one else’s. Pressuring a high school graduate into going to is unfair, why? The reasoning being is that not all high school graduates need to go to college in order to live a happy and secure life.

Graduating a year early is becoming a more popular idea in high schools. This curriculum allows students to complete high school in three years instead of four. This however, causes students to take classes in the summer or in the evening. Students should not elect to graduate a year early because they are too young, it is very stressful, and it rushes the high school experience.

College is something you have to do right after high school, at least that what it seems like, but it not for everyone. Most kids go into college unprepared and having no idea of what they want in life. They just go so that they won’t be look down on by society. In an online blog entry written by “Rob”, he/she said, “Kids who didn’t plan to go to college were considered “lazy” or unambitious”, while those who did go to college usually didn’t even know what they wanted to do with their careers.” Kids go to college just gain respect in the outside world, because once you get that college diploma, people tend to give you respect automatically and they always feel like they can level with you. No one wants to be seen as an unintellectual individual. This a lot of pressure on students to attend college, they don’t even learn anything. They’re just wasting time that could’ve been used to work after high school. Also, if you know that you go to college without any knowledge of what you want in life, then you are wasting your money and maybe college is not for you. Don’t waste professors and students time, don’t feel pressured to go to

When people graduate from high school they usually don't know where to go from there. Some don’t want to go to college and think they’ll never find a decent paying job without a college degree. Truth is there is a variety of jobs out there not requiring a college degree and give good pay. For example a medical secretary. Medical secretary jobs have opportunities for advancement, good benefits, and proper job training.

Every day a student thinks about where they’re going to college. Are they going to a community, a university, out of state college? Do they want to do two, four, six, or eight years? Can they get financial aid or even a scholarship? Thousands of questions run through their heads as they think about their future. College opens many doors but it also closes many.
