Many people argue that going to college is either a waste of money or a waste of time because “now a days” it does not matter if you have a degree or not, it is still hard to find a job. I believe this to be different. People who do not go to college are more likely to be unemployed and, therefore, place undue financial strain on society, making a college degree worth it to taxpayers. In my opinion I think that going to college is a great experience to meet new people, learn social skills, and earn a degree which will always pay off in the long run.…

Attending college for the first time have been a very exciting, terrifying, overwhelming, sick, and complicated experience. I don't know how to adjust to a place where I can stand on my own and take responsibility for my education and future. People say that college is about finding a job and the higher education we have the better employed we are. From my experience, I feel like college is about finding ourselves, who we are? What we want to be? Its a case of when the fear of the unknown is the greatest fear of all. Since I started college, my life have been going up and down. I'm currently taking three courses which are: AAA 101, CCR 092, PSYCH 101. The toughest course is Psychology. Attending classes, completing assignments, writing papers,…

I attend college for various reasons; college education is important to me because I want to become an educated person, develop a career, increase my personal satisfaction, to meet new people and experience the culture.

This inspires my passion for psychology because I want to help other people be the best they can be. Also, receiving a college education will make my husband and family proud.…
Your education is the single greatest gift you can give yourself. While there are educational opportunities all around us, some of them come at a greater cost than others. A college education might require a hefty investment of time and money upfront but the payoff is much better over time than if you used your life experiences in order to achieve the same level of education that you can pack into 2, 4, or 5 years of an undergraduate education on the college level.…
I am a forty year old mother of two, who has always felt that there was something missing in my life. I tried many different things like learn how to knit or exercise, but still there was something missing. Until one day I felt unhappy about my job I felt that I can do but of course I wanted to get paid. About five years ago I decided that I wanted to further my education so that I can make more money and be able to live comfortably instead of check by check. But for some reason every time I tried to enroll something came up. This past weekend I decided I’d go for it without giving it a second thought and here I am. I spoke to my family about it after I enrolled and was amazed at the response I received my husband said “Go for it babe” my children said (at the same time) “Go mom”. I felt good about my decision.…
