Do you think it's worth it to go to college? Why or why not?

Question

Extrinix · Answer

This is biased in terms of what you want to do in the future, what are your plans for the future? If you have any

Graysonunderwoods · Answer

depends on your grades,income,and other bs,and depends on the collage,what you wish to learn,and what type of job are you looking for when you enter

Shadow · Answer

It depends on what you want to do for employment. Many careers require a collegiate degree while others don't (requiring trade school, work experience, etc more so). It's *extremely* worth researching your career paths and what is actually needed to succeed in that industry as many young adults are getting insane debt from attending college and graduating with little to no success salary / employment wise.

My short answer is probably not for most people. But college right now largely functions as an adult 'daycare' (I think I heard a professor call it that) since high school really fails at preparing students for attacking the real world.

In short, college is societies best answer to 'go here to figure stuff out' but its costly...

CecePitbull · Answer

well like previously stated, what do you want to do/study/be. ect. i think that it also depends where you might want to go. you should go to college because it just makes it a lot easier to get a job, especially if you studied that subject specifically : teacher studied teaching. ect. (also im not a professional so lets not judge my spelling) it can be challenging when it comes to paying off college though. but if you have studied hard and got good grades in the past some schools offer scholarships. so i would say you should apply for some sort of university/school/college after school because it makes  it a lot easier to get lots of things. also dyplomas are pretty cool. but i dont suggest it if you had bad grades in the past, and/or cannot pay off the debt. because you can get in a lot of trouble!! thanks! -cece.

With a high school diploma, you can pursue various well-paying jobs, including trades like plumbing, electrical work, and carpentry, as well as roles like commercial pilot, power plant operator, and transportation inspector.

I think what you mean is that minimum requirement to *start* in those types of fields is a high school diploma. But to actually make a decent living and continue, you'd need additional training, maybe even trade school.

cactusblossom · Answer

um not true :)

cactusblossom · Answer

While not mandatory, trade school or vocational training programs can be a valuable path to becoming a plumber, offering a structured approach to learning the trade and gaining foundational knowledge.

cactusblossom · Answer

its not mandatory to do trade school to be a plumber

Extrinix · Answer

He never said mandatory.

cactusblossom · Answer

he said you would need so...

CecePitbull · Answer

again, it would probably just give a better and bigger chance for more money or to get hired. for people who need to feed themselfs and others. if that makes sense the camp would educate them on the subject further therfore giving them more experiance and giving them more qualifications to the job, dont mind the spelling.!!

Luigi0210 · Answer

Don't forget to account for the future. There will be greater competition for jobs. In the past, you didn't even need a high school diploma for jobs. But now, you do. Eventually, it might reach the point where some college/degrees are required for those same jobs. Not necessarily because the education is  needed, there's just more competition for the role.

Luigi0210 · Answer

Though some of the jobs you mentioned are more skill based than anything. Sure, they may never require a college degree to start, but the experience (which most fresh out of high school won't have) is more important.

cactusblossom · Answer

whatever u say buddy

Dozzy · Answer

I think it could be important to go to college in case you are trying to get a degree for a certain field, though their also is the point that you don't need to go to college for the fact that some of the jobs don't require a bachelor's degree anymore. Lastly their is the fact that the student loans also could be high.

SaltySuga · Answer

Yes go to college and become rich
