These days in society a college education is no longer a choice or privilege like it used to be in the past, but instead an essential part of life these days. We are raised to believe that one needs higher education in order to succeed in life. I believe that everyone should attend at least a minimum of two years of college. The main reason why most people go to college is not because they want to but because they have to. All throughout high school you 're pressured by your guidance…

Is College Really Worth The Cost? In “What is a College Education Really Worth?” Naomi Schaefer Riley claims that a college education these days is just considered as a credential needed to prove your skill level, and is not worth the money you are paying for it.

My understanding and perception of personal responsibility involves being accountable for my actions and being responsible for everything I do and say at all times.

Like many topics, College is a real controversial topic in the United States. Most people are for college and think you should attend while other people think it is a waste of money and time.

Next college was a valuable level of education for a young person. College was considered valuable and employers stressed having a college degree…

After high school, a whole new world opens up to a person, with many opportunities and places that one can go. About 15.6 million people enroll in an undergraduate program every year, which can be any degree containing a requirement of two to four years of schooling. Not everyone who goes to college will go right after high school. Some people take off a year, or they wait until they are financially stable before going to college. College is an option that everyone has after high school, but not…

Affirmative constructive speech Our country needs to rethink the costs it places upon students in order to receive a postsecondary education. In the 12 years after 2003, the number of 25-year-olds who had student debt increased to 43% from 25%, and their average total loan balance almost doubled (Brown 1). This crippling setback places college students back into living with their parents, delaying the start of their true post-college life. The option to skip a college degree is hardly viable…

Do you think what you learn while attending college is going to help you have a certain skill that will be used often in your future career? In today’s society with the economic status being in a recession, companies will not hire someone who is not beneficial for their corporation. The companies base their hiring criteria on people’s…
