Like many of you, I once pondered whether I was cut out for college. I wasn't sure if I was 'college material' and often asked others for advice. Luckily, those close to me recommended that I attend college, and I am glad I did.
I recently met a high school senior who was not planning to attend college. He doubted whether or not he really needed to attend college. Luckily, he did decide to attend college and is doing very well.
Without a college degree, many people become stuck in a certain job, or with a certain company, with very few opportunities for advancement. A college degree will not guarantee a high salary right away, but people with college degrees typically are more competitive for higher paying jobs.
Experiencing college brings additional advantages beyond earning more money. College students have opportunities to interact with each other, to learn social behavior and sometimes even build leadership skills.
Many people are concerned about their livelihood in the current economy. A college degree can make job candidates more competitive, not only for the academic credentials, but because employers often place more trust in those who have earned a college degree.
Employers know that college graduates have already demonstrated the ability to make it through rough times and that they have the intestinal fortitude to stick it out when times get tough. A college degree shows them that you can handle anything.
Without a college education, career options may be limited to serving those who do have college degrees - which is absolutely fine if this is your sincere desire, but what a shame to wake up 20 years later and realize it is not!
While it is difficult and challenging, college is definitely worth it, and you'll thank yourself later for putting in the effort now!
