College is fundamental to me for several reasons. For example, in the article College Is Worth The Cost, by Brooks C. Holtom states that “college graduates earn $2.1 million in a lifetime income compared with $1.2 million for high school graduates.” I will earn about a million more dollars than high school graduates if I am a college graduate. This is important because then I will have enough money to provide for my own kids and wife later on then I would also have enough money to give to my parents and siblings if they need it. Also, the article states, “continuing education after high school is much more important for our generation compared to our parents generation.” Additionally most jobs require more than a high school diploma.

ready for college early: Steps by the U.S department education, states “ a two year college(technical program) provides the skills and experienced employees you look for you don’t have to go to a four year college. If school isn’t for you because you think it is to much time just go to a community college it’s only two years and you can still get the degree you wanted to get. You’ll also get a pretty good job that you like and fits you. There are so many and programs for college so there is no excuses for you not attending any college. College will give me so much oppurtunities for me.

Some people argue that college is a waste of time. For example, in article 2 it states that “ These billionaires achieved tremendous success without the benefit of a four year degree”. That is an understandable concern, however if you go to college you could earn a lot and not have to work as hard. Those billionaires had to work extra hard for that money because they didn’t go to college or just went to a short two year college. So if you are a college graduate you’ll earn a lot of money and don’t have to work as hard as the people who didn’t go to college. So that is the reason why they are wrong about not going to
college.
My plans for the future are to go to college and become successful in life and i also want to become a police officer. The colleges I would like to attend are Fresno State, University of California, Riverside (UCR), and Cal Poly. My major study would be criminal justice/criminology. I want to get my masters degree so i’ll go to a four year or more than four year college. I would like to become a police officer or a professional soccer player. A police officer arrest people,they enforce laws, do court cases, they also patrol areas they are assigned to, and they put their life in front of others no matter who it is. What i need to improve on for high school is turn in all my homework and keep a 3.7 gpa or higher for all four years.
