Many People ask is college useful, well I'm telling
you that college is useful because it transforms you into someone that you need
to be for the career you chose. Many people come to college for the parties, and
to meet new people, but also many come to better themselves. Being a successful
person is something that everyone dreams about. Making the decision to go to
college will change your life because you get a chance that many people don't
get. According to Robert
Hoggard "One can never truly understand what determination is without
finishing college because studying and finishing assignments on time takes
innate willpower that many people who opt-out of college do not possess."
For me, I believe college is useful because I know in order to pursue my career
I need to get an education. College is a step that would improve someone
mentally because it will prepare someone for the things the world has in store
for them. In an article Louis
Maynard says "College exposes future citizens to material that
enlightens and empowers them, whatever careers they end up choosing." As
kids we were told that college was something that we had to do once we finished
high school, at such a young age most people don't think of college because
they see the famous people on T.V that are rich and they didn't go to college
so many people base their future off of the celebrities on T.V. Some
celebrities on T.V. convey the wrong message to young people because for some
it makes them think that college isn't worth the time, so many kids don't apply
themselves to their work because they want to be like the celebrities. During
my four years of high school my teachers held my hand and let me do things that
I can’t do now that I am in college, so now I have to adjust o doing everything
by myself and not have my teacher helping me through it. Holly
Higgins says "Don't think it's just about what employers want.
University is a great opportunity to learn what you can do as an
individual." As kids we went through many preparation stages when it came
to education from preschool to high school we had someone by our side every
step of the way to hold our hand and to help us through every assignment and
project. Many may find college difficult because in college your teachers don't
hold your hand like your teachers did throughout your school career. For many
students high school crippled them and it is now hurting them because they aren't
use to having to do work completely by themselves, which is another reason why
college is a decision that everyone should make because it prepares you to do
things by yourself. According to Bobby
Fang "Studies show that nationally, 60 percent of students graduate in
majors different from those in which they began." College is a useful tool
because it can change someone's entire life and help them help someone else.
Another reason why many people do not want to go to college is because of the
money and the loans they will have to get just to be able to afford college.
According to C.
Cryn Johannsen "According to the Department of Education, those recent graduates who began
repayments in 2009, 8.8 percent had already defaulted on their federal
loans." Yes, college is expensive but this is one expense that is
worthwhile it will follow you for the rest of your life and can help you in
many different situations. When it comes to education and your future I
don't believe that it should be a price on that. If all of the people in the
world didn't make the decision to go to college our world as we know it would
very hectic. Without college educations we wouldn't have any doctors, nurses,
lawyer or anyone that keeps us safe or regulate our world as we know it. Would
you want to live in the world we live in now or an educated one? I have figure
that even by experience that if you present an idea to a young person and it
doesn't appeal to them they will not think about that idea at all because it
didn't appeal to them. I believe that if there was a way to appeal to the young
kids about college that a lot of people that will give the thought of college
another thought. For most people it’s not all about making money sometimes it
is about them making something of them self or trying to make a better way for
their family and if they go to college they will find that their professors
will support their motives and help them. The professors in college are they to
support you and help you and they will make it very comfortable for you. Yes
there are some point’s negative points but overall I believe that a college
education is a positive stepping stone for anyone who has plans of a big
future. There has been a record of a lot of college drop outs, but according to
Hvolbeck "Education
as a dwelling in the human experience of reality is ending. As with the Roman
Empire, it is ending with a whimper, not a bang." Our generation needs to
change that because we have very smart young people we just have to get their
attention. Young people who love money, college is the head start that you need
because it will put you one step closer to the money you want. You don't have to
go to college to be successful but it is a wonderful idea for everyone to jump
start what could be a wonderful life,, all because you took the time to make a
decision that will change your life. The choice is totally up to you no one but
you so you make the choice! I know that college is useful for me but my
question to you is, do you think college is useful for you?
