Why I Am In College

Decent Essays
College is an important milestone in everyone’s life although it’s not for everybody. The reason why I originally decided to go to college was because my parents told me it was what I needed to do after graduating high school. But now I am in college because I don’t want to end up like my parents working a dead end job and living pay check to pay check. So I want to have an actual career and live a comfortable lifestyle. Plus I actually enjoy the career path I have chosen. That is why I am in college now first because my parent’s brain washed me so second cause I don’t want to struggle financially and third because I actually want to help people with the career I am choosing. When I was a kid my parents always brain washed me about college
