College Versus College

Boom! A sound that may be heard while firing a weapon during training in the military or the sound of the bass from a party in college. The military and college life are very different in how life is lived from a day to day basis and different with the kind of person that you are. Personally think that joining the military is the better, smarter decision, but like college it isn’t for everyone. College is made to seem mandatory in today's society, but there are much better option out there then going to school for an additional two, four, or more years. Ever since I was a young kid, I’ve always been interested with the military.

A lot of colleges, but not all, are very expensive and will put students and graduates in debt. Depending on that college and the cost of it, and if you work or come from a wealthy family, debt may vary (Dumbauld.) . I am not saying that the military is for everyone either. The workforce would also be a great path to choose after graduation. If someone is going to college because they genuinely want to and learn to further educate themselves for life and their job, then do it and pursue your dreams. If they’re going because everyone else in their class is doing it and they feel pressured, then take a year, get a job, and then make that decision
