<p>I know this is really random but I have been thinking about this lately. I know that college basically equals a good job/life but is there any other reasons why you would consider going to college?
me personally- I just want to go to a college. i am paying my own way which seems almost impossible but i am going to try. My parents were the first in their families to go to college. They didn't go to really outstanding schools-my mom was accepted at Northwestern but didn't have the money to pay.
I just would like to bring honor for example I will be the first woman on my father's side to go to college if I keep on going in my education</p>
<p>I want to go to college because (hah! I'm asian...j/k) I know if I just stop after goin to such a prep school, it'd be a huge waste of my parents money spent on tuition at my High school. So it's guilt, and its' also the fact that I want to get the education I need to get the h*** out of this place, and into the world, like a huge city or someplace where the only way I'll survive is by getting a college education. Also, being smart in a smart world appeals to me--why should I be part of the "uneducated masses"?</p>
<p>How else am I to get on the Supreme Court?</p>
<p>1.I can't get a job I want without it
2.It could be my only chance to get the heck out of dodge!
3.boys, boys, boys. </p>
<p>deep answers to come later...:p</p>
<p>...dodge? is that where you live?</p>
<p>Because... that's just what you do. After highschool, you go to college. It doesn't really matter what your major is because 70% of the time, you don't work in what you majored.</p>
<p>So, yeah. I know its a ***<em>ty reason, but what else do you want us to do? They brainwash us into thinking there is no life outside of school. *shrugs</em></p>
<p>the better the college, the more money you make</p>
<p>Because I want to stay in school for as long as possible. As long as I stay in school, work is beyond my grasp. :p</p>
<p>This, everyone, is using diligence to be lazy.</p>
<p>because i want to be intellectually challengened and study what i'm truly passionate about and...oh who am i kidding, i'm all about the drunken hookups at frat parties.</p>

<p>Exactly! I mean, you stay away from working AND when you actually do go out to work, you'll most likely earn more money than if you didn't go to college. Starting work late, more money. Why not?</p>
<p>I'm going to college because my parents want and expect it of me. Plus I generally like school and learning. It should be fun. Get out of the house for four years. Do some work. Spend money and have a good time. Then I can get a good job. Go get my MBA. etc. Its all a cycle.</p>
<p>Just another adventure. I have nothing else better to do.</p>
<p>i want to have what i need to make a difference in the world</p>
<p>Well besides increasing the chance of getting a better job in the future, I want to go to college because it looks like fun.</p>
<p>The cheesiest and most truthful answer: there is so much more I have to learn and so many more people I have to meet.</p>
<p>Also, I will the first person ever in my family to continue education past the age of 17. I would love to set a precedent.</p>
<p>And... I feel that a college degree will make it a LOT easier for me to be a millionaire by the time I'm in my 30s.</p>
<p>Oh I got a better one: because I can.</p>
<p>Why not? It allows nearly absolute freedom...in the prime of one's life.</p>
<p>yup, it'll be fun and both my parents went to college and even though i'll be 18 by the time i go to college and technically be an "adult" my parent's decisions still have a pretty large impact on my decisions
(1/2 forcefully, 1/2 not)</p>
<p>teh sux0rz</p>
<p>To learn new things and earn the skills that will get me a job - I won't lie, lot of money + power to hire/fire people = joyous Karina</p>
<p>And of course, you can't forget: we'd be talking about college, in college, on CC.</p>
