Why do people go to college? One main reason is to increase their chances of getting a job. Most bosses will hire a person with a college degree. Some believe that if a person goes through all the trouble of going to college, this might mean he will work better. Another main reason is the money. Jobs that require a college degree will pay more.
Some other reasons might be that a person likes to learn. Sometimes parents want their children to have a college degree.
With the increasing cost of education and more and more children entering the job market, going to college might not be worth it. The reason is that by the time we get out of college, no jobs will be left. Many studnents who get a college degree won’t be able to get the job that her or she wanted. They are foced to take a job with pay much lower than expected and possibly the job doesn’t even require a college degree at all.
Is a college degree really necessary? Well, it really depends on what kind of job you want. Some jobs that require only a high school education may pay almost as well as a job that requires a college degree, so it is important to know what you want to do.
