Time magazine posted an article criticizing college education. The American society values education and pushes every child to go to college. Recent studies have shown that people with college degrees make more than people with just a high school diploma. With that statistic in our minds, our first instinct is to send our children to college, but what if our child is ready? Then what do you do? Do you force them to go anyways and potentially drop out of college or possibly take maybe 6 years to finish a 4 year degree?
The article makes the argument that when students graduate from college, they end up getting jobs that sometimes dont even require the degree. Or they may find themselves working along side a person with a high school diploma. I mean wouldn't you think that a person with a college degree would push ahead of the pack? Yeah, I would. But unfortunately it doesn't work that way most times. I hope and pray that when I get older, I don't regret the debt that I am accumulating now. I just know I BETTER find a job that pays well and has something to do with my degrees, I didn't pay for them for nothing! lol
Do you think that college is overrated?
Until Next Time...
Lauren!
