    We live in a society that we are told to work hard to get good results. Why? So we can get a good job. What is a good job? One that pays well. And that’s it? All this suffering, merely so that we can earn a lot of money, which, even if we manage it, will not solve our problems anyway? It’s a tragically limited idea of what life is all about.

    Do you really believe that college is really worth enrolling or there is another way out.

    College is the way to go in order to do a career and have economy security. If you have a dream job such as becoming a lawyer, an engineer, an architect or any professional job, you need to go through college and even tough it is expensive and you need to put time and hard work to graduate, it is very worth it. In my case, I want to be a doctor, and I am in med school. I moved to the Caribbean in order to save some money on college. But living from USA, where I have my family and friends, and everything is much more comfortable over there, to a third world country, has not been easy. Also medicine is hard anywhere, but I fully enjoy everything, I made friends who are very bright people, and the experience of going to hospitals and learning how to treat patients is just awesome. I know college is not for everyone, but it is totally worth it.

    College is definitely worth it. I've tried bypassing it just to be hit with the harsh reality that without that expensive piece of paper they call a diploma you will be living paycheck to paycheck. It's hard to f oh no a decent job with a good pay let alone good benefits without it. Because of this I am currently enrolled in college to better myself and my living situation.

    There were times when one of my cousins thought of not attending our major subject class and she was like, "In this state of our lives, is college really worth of everything?". I felt disappointed. For she did not know what kind of question she is ranting about. Because yes! College is really worth of everything, in terms of money, time and efforts.

    Wherever stage of educational attainment we are, it is a must that we have to pay time. And when it comes on money matters, I think it is on the discretion of the child's parents whether he or she would be sent to a exclusive or non exclusive school. But whatever it is, it is only just a name nor the fame of the school, in the end it depends on the child. The important thing in studying, in whatever stages of education you are now is you have to pay time, focus and attention. Because it can be the training ground of yours, the key to your future and would be the vehicle of your success. More especially on college for it would be the last training of you being a student as you soar high and conquer the real world.

    Whether or not college is really worth your time and money depends on what you want as a career. There are people whose wanted future career do not depend on whether or not they go to college. However, if you want to, for example, become a doctor, college is a necessity. If you want to go into business, college is a great stepping stone. For those who cannot afford the high price of private colleges, there are always community colleges and many people still do well in life and get a decent job from it. Therefore, I do think college is worth your time, but not necessarily your money.

    Well I am currently a college freshman, I am motivated to go and make the best out of it. Qualifications are needed for certain high paying jobs so to be on the safe side go get your degree.
