The American Dream: The Importance Of Going To College

Decent Essays
The topic I chose is about going to college is a wise decision.
First, I have considered the topic about workplace issues for today’s women. Then I looked into the topic about the American Dream. But my final decision was to consider the topic of the importance of attending college. I am considering completing my studies in the US. There was another factor that made me choose this topic. I don’t want to pass a great job offer because I don’t have a degree. I agree that same profession does not need a complete college degree, but in today’s world, it is an important decision to go to college.
Going to college makes a person wiser, and help them in many areas of life.

    When I think of the American Dream I think about using education as a means to rise above what you came from. It doesn’t necessarily mean being filthy rich or famous but living comfortably and being able to enjoy certain luxuries and indulgences (i.e. travelling, going out to eat, taking vacations, having your own car, owning a home, etc.) without worrying about how you are going to pay the bills next month. In terms of education the American Dream still exists. Many people are still going to college and trying to obtain degrees as a means to achieve the American Dream however, there are several factors making it harder for people to achieve the American Dream by going to college.…
