When it comes to college it does have its perks in the end but of course they are hard to see when you have so much stuff you have to do to get them. A person that has a college education is more likely to get paid a better amount, which seem obvious even though many of us college students think we will never find a job once we go into the job market. This is a very stressful idea, to put so much money and time into something that gives me no rewards.
Statistically there has been more people going to college which to me is good and bad. Does that mean by the time I get my degree all the jobs will be taken up or that I will settle for a job i do not really want because its the only one that will hire me. If i look at it like there will be better quality of things because we are more educated i guess it helps. Then there's the many people out there that cant find jobs because they dropped out of college or because their field is flooded. The statistics are good to the people who own and run companies but to me its just a sign that I need to get my degree quickly.
College is very expensive and it is interesting how many people a college has running it.I mean i go into an office and it's like there is always one to many people in there scratching their ass and then to find out all of these tutors get paid is crazy, especially when I know certain ones aren't even being used they are just there to get a pay check. I understand there are many things that need to be done to run a college but seriously get it together it cant need that many people.
Another thing that isnt mentioned is that so many people change their majors they are probably able to do many things will the knowledge they no longer need and they will never actually see they benefits for that in a paycheck. I worry that i will be one of these people. Its weird to me because i know the 3 degrees i am considering but it just seem like I cant choose which one i will be more happy doing once i put the effort into getting it. The statistics dont show how much money we loose because of our indecisiveness and I wonder if they did if we would get our act together faster and figure out what we are doing. If we could more of us would probably graduate in 4 years and not to mention the money we could save.
The debt for college is tremendous. Yes we have an idea of how much it will cost but many students dont have an idea of how much a dollar is worth. This is an important idea and can only be learned it took me until I made sacrifices on what to do with the money i earned to understand this idea. Many people buy cars and houses when they are still in debt and this does not help. They need to take the debt one thing at a time if they have a big college loan they need to pay off their next step shouldnt be buying a house even though it looks nice.
Yes college debt is terrible and maybe the colleges are over charging us but if we study get a career and pay off our student loans then get a house we should be fine and able to figure out what to do with the perks of having a degree.
