Why Go To College

Mr. Feldman presents a very good point in “WHY GO TO COLLEGE?,” by stating that students that settle for a high school diploma or less, will not go as far, or reach their full potential. Students tend to get excited when they enter high school, thinking “yes! Only four more years to go! No more test! No more evil teachers! NO MORE SCHOOL!” But can you imagine just hopping from one dead end job to another? How does having two jobs sound like to you? Well from my experience I can honestly say I disliked it. I did not make more money by having the second job, if anything I missed out on family events, and the people that really mattered. Sure most jobs only require a high school diploma but what kind of job is it? Are you happy? Can you retire?

College? The one place where many people hardly decide about going to have a better education to start their lives? Why should you go to college?

Stephens who is the founder of “UnCollege.” Stephens made “UnCollege” for individuals to find their own way to success without college. Another news writer Jennifer Ludden, published a different article “Going to College May Cost You, But So Will Skipping It.” Ludden’s article was completely financial. Ludden describes the different between attending college and missing it. Ludden talks about a gap between college and non-college students. How an average college graduate makes about $17,500 per year and that gaps keeps increasing yearly.

Why do I want to go to college and why should I go? There are many answers to this question and the most common answer would be “Well I want to go to college so I can have a future” or “I should go to college because I want to make my parents proud”.

My teachers have also been a great influence

There are important points to consider about making the choice if college is necessary for one’s future or not.

There are several reasons why individuals go to college. Some reasons are worthwhile while some are not. Personally, I strongly believe that going to the college does not, in itself, guarantee success but it does in one way or the way help in achieving success. For me, one important reason I go to college is to acquire practical and theoretical knowledge. Acquiring knowledge seems to be my fundamental reason for me going to the college. I want to acquire as many knowledge as possible especially in the field of Accounting and Finance. I want to be academically inclined in the area of research and development in finance so as to meet global demand for financial solution to financial problems and challenges.

One of the biggest questions children and teens ask themselves in America is what they want to do with their future. Among the choices they have is the decision whether to attend college. It’s a big decision. For children, it seems like an easy decision. “Of course! You need a degree to get a job.” As we get closer to graduating high school, we find out that it’s much more complex. There are other options to consider. College can be a risk. It’s expensive, and many students are advised against attending because of this. It could add very little to their career path, or it might be vital to their dream career. Each person must decide what value college has to their

There are multitudes of reasons why people choose to go to college. A college education gives these people means to gain information and skills that can be utilized for as long as they live. The degree obtained from a higher education institution solidifies the credibility of the individual in the society. Although the opportunity to further one’s education is available to all who seek it, it may not necessarily be for everyone. For those who decide that college is not an endeavor they wish to pursue, there are a number of professions in the job market that require much less formal schooling. In fact, the quality of one’s life does not precisely correspond with the pursuit of higher education. The American media, however, seems to think otherwise, often portraying college as a social necessity and imposing a taboo attitude towards the notion of not attending college. Although most people make the assumption that the main point of college is to secure the credentials essential to higher paying job positions, the real underlying purpose is for creative self-growth engendered from fulfillment potential

I'm highly aware that most people say that they want to attend college to get out of the struggling life style they were born in, or to be successful because you can't be successful without college or other things along those lines. Don't get me wrong, I believe that college is the exact fix to those situations and rock on for people with that mindset. But....I personally believe that college is not the place you go to fix your problems, I think it's the place that gives you the resources and education to fix your problems, but it doesn't fix your problems for you.

As we know the average individual will attend college for a particular reason, either a family tradition or a lifelong goal, but for most part the reason is for a better life. A majority of people attend a college to obtain a degree or training to become specialist in a certain field or profession, in fact enrollment in college skyrockets when struggling economy. With the shutdown of Internet startups and a slowdown in the economy, a glut of people with experience in high-tech industries is competing for available jobs, leaving fewer opportunities for recent graduates (Perlman). With the current job market being saturated with people who have the same degree competing for the lesser number of jobs, this would only worsen future matters if

Many people choose not to attend college. I believe that not attending college is probably one of the most irresponsible decisions a person can make. When graduated making the decision to work at a dead end job forever or attend college, college is a pretty obvious choice. The reason I want to go to college is so I can have my dream job instead of a job I do not like, so I will never have to struggle as a result of skipping college and because I believe my college experience will have a tremendous impact on my life.
