The reason I want a college degree is because I want to have control over my life. I am young and have many interests, but I don’t know who I will eventually become and what careers I will eventually pursue. Higher education opens more doors than a high school diploma does, and it will allow me to choose which doors to walk through.
I’ve seen how adult life is without a college diploma. The adults in my life have worked from job to job, jumping around from secretaries, store clerks, etc. These kind of unskilled and laborious jobs are soul-killing. I want a job where I am excited to get up every morning and go to work. Obtaining a college degree means I can study my passions and interests in depth, and then figure how to apply these passions
