<p>The way I see it, college is good, but it’s not for everyone. A lot of pressure is placed upon people to go to college, when they either aren’t prepared for it, have no interest in going, or lack the discipline to do well. There are plenty of other professions that can lead to success for those who attend college, much more than “flipping burgers” as they so commonly get threatened with. Going to college doesn’t guarantee success, just as not attending guarantees failure. I think the important thing is that people make a name for themselves and do something meaningful as a job, rather than work through college for several years and expect a job to just land at the end. If fewer people went to college, that equals more funding/resources for those that do attend. </p>
<p>I’m not hating on college, but it’s not suited for everyone. A college degree can be very useful, given that the person holding it uses it well.</p>
