College does help to enhance knowledge and have an exceptional job, but not everyone has that, due to the obstacles people have to face. For those people who can go to college have the opportunity to study their desired majors and for the ones who are undecided on what they want to major still have the opportunity to finish the prerequisites yet gain knowledge while they are there.
