Is college really for you???


Have you every felt like college was a waste of your time? Like you were here because you had to be?

Many students feel this way, like college is holding them back instead of furthering them in their careers. Many feel stressed out, like their grades are mediocre, and they would be better off pursuing a "dream".

Many students may feel fidgety and discouraged about an education because their study habits aren't there, or because financially they don't have it, others may just be lazy.

But an collegiate education is very important in today's society. 62 percent of all careers require a college degree. College is more than just a place of assessment, its a place to grow.

College teaches you life long skills such as how to network, how to focus under pressure, and how to be on your own.

That's one side. But for those people who feel attached to this dream and maybe want to dance, sing, act, model, or anything along those lines maybe school isn't needed but it could be a crutch.

The types of jobs college graduates have access to are much better than those with high school diplomas. The unemployment rate for college graduates was just 2.2 percent last year, half the unemployment level of those with only high school diplomas.

So is college really for you??
