Top reasons why kids today are in college.
1. Everyone else is doing it.
2. My friends/boyfriend/girlfriend is going.
3. Mom and Dad wanted me to go.
4. Party!!!!
5. I want to be able to say I have a college degree (not that it means that I’ve learned anything).
6. I had no idea what else to do after high school.
7. It seems a lot easier and more fun that getting a job.
8. I need to learn all the stuff that they used to teach in high school, but no longer do because I got social promotions.
9. I’m an affirmative action admission and someone is paying for me to go to college so that it looks good for their diversity quotas.
10. I’m just here for the sports and I’m only pretending to be a student.
Good reasons for getting a degree:
1. It’s actually needed for the career you want (science, engineering, medicine, ...)
Maybe there are other good reasons, but I can’t think of any at the moment.
Too many kids are wasting time and money on college when they would be better off getting jobs, starting businesses, or learning a trade.
