College

When I think of college I think of having fun while getting to reach my goals in life and learning things that will benefit me in the future and will help me with my career I want to do when I get older. People say that college can be many things like "it was the best time of my life", "it will help you some much if you graduate from it to get a job in the future", "College sucked", "I think that you should go to college". But I think that don't take your parents advice it is the time to think of yourself for once and make your own choice if you want to expand your learning on things before you start you adult life. It is your chance that will change your life either way if you decide to go to college or not to go, don't listen to anyone else besides yourself and do what you think is best for you and not anyone else. Don't think of what everyone else says about what their college life was about and what they did and what they seen and just do it. College can help you if you want to go it will also better your knowledge for your future jobs and career. But it will only help you if it is your choice to go to college.

 College can be a great thing for many reasons because more jobs will except you if you have a degree in college and went and graduated. Jobs usually look at your resume to see these things like the schools you went to what you majored in and they different things you did before going to college. College will always look good on your resume and more jobs will except you for having this knowledge that you went to college. But i think that college should not be really necessary for you to go to because ya you went to go to college to get to know more about those different things like what you want to have a career in and stuff. But i don't think just because you went to college and a good college doesn't mean you should get  job because you went and you should be picked first rather than other people.

Jobs should be determined by like experience and the knowledge you have on that specific thing and not by just your schooling because I know many successful people that weren't good in school but are good at their job and what they do now. You should not be frowned upon just because you never went to college and jobs should take the people that know that job best out of the job just because they didn't go to college and don't have a degree. One day people aren't going to college and they won't know what to do because that is all they look at on your resume. I would like to ask those business people why they usually only look at the people with college degrees and will hire them before anyone else like the people that know the job better. I don't understand at all why going to college is so great to them to get a job. I know that not everyone can afford college and that it one thing that many people struggle with.

I mean why do they expect everyone to go to college when so many people are struggling just to stay a-float as is, when they are just getting out of high school. Maybe they don't get that not everyone can afford the amount colleges put forth. To get into a college some people hope for the best and try to do really good in high school to get a scholarship or a full ride scholarship to college so they don't have to pay some much money for college to help them save enough to pay for all of their college costs while they are still in college or even out of college. They still have to be paying out loans, school fees, and any other expenses they had for college. I think that jobs should not be so strict about getting a college degree and all to just get a job because of all they know they learned way more than the person that wanted the job with no college degree or even going to college.

No one said that it is mandatory to go to college and get a degree. Teachers don't teach their students that they need to go to college to get a job to be successful in life and to even get a job at all in the future. I bet that not all those employers went to college to get the same job you are applying for at the same business and all they think is that they only way you can do think job is by going to college to do his job good. And if you didn't go to college or didn't graduate from college they don't know how to do the same jobs as the college degree'ed applicants that get accepted to do that job. Then the other people have to either do back to school and get a degree or find a different job. And those people are part of the big percentage pf the unemployed work force that are out of jobs and needing jobs and willing to do any jobs at all. So before you do anything after high school think...What does College mean to you??
