Is college even worth it?

Submitted by Kim Harris
on

Graduates aren't getting the skills they need to succeed in the workforce, despite spending between $75-150k for a 4-year degree. 80% of employers are requiring practical experience. National student loan debt has reached $2.1 trillion.
Why are we still participating in this outdated system? Is it possible to prepare for the real world without getting a 4-year degree?

As of I feels so, there should be a job oriented study which leads to a handsome job. While study there should be job oriented classes to build a bright future.

Well, that depends on how you're actually taking on your college. Some actually graduate and become successful in their careers you know. Let's not forget about those people

Hello! As for me is absolutely possible. To say even more, so many people who doesn't studied in colleges and universities now succeed. I have friend who quit study before graduation and start working as software tester and earn enormous sums of money. And me, with higher education, still searching the job.

Yea college is really worth it. The most important thing is really knowing your reason for being in College(Start with Why).
People get frustrated while they are in school because they went into college because it was said that school must be a criteria to make it in life. So the most important thing is to know the reason for being in college.
Good things about College:
1. SCHOOL IS A GREAT PLACE TO NETWORK WITH GREAT MINDS
2. SCHOOL IS WHERE YOU DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE AND VISION
3. SCHOOL IS A GREAT PLACE FOR YOU TO LEARN ANY SKILL
There are a thousand and one things that you can do in College, its left to you.
