Go+to+college?+(Article+Response)

In the three articles that I read it discussed if it is important to still get a college degree today. The one article stated how having a degree now is less valued now because so many more people are attending college because they feel that they have to in order to get somewhere in life. I feel that the first 2 articles had a strong opinion about not having to have to attend college. In my opinion I feel that this is wrong. As a future teacher it is a requirement to become educated and have a college degree. Without this degree I would not be able to get the job I wanted. On the other hand though, I feel that there are some jobs that you can just walk into depending on their requirements. Overall I feel that in order to get a job you need to have some kind of college degree. It will not only help you with getting a job but it will help you have a higher pay rate. I do believe that the best way to learn about your career and learn how things work is to become involved in that field and gain job experiances from it. This can be added to your degree and will look a lot better on a resume. I could go to college for all four and a half years to complete my major but i still would not be able to just go into teaching without the actual experiances. Student teaching is a great example of this. From observing my dad, he did not go to college and he always says that he wishes he would have went to college even though he became very successful in life. I feel that it varies a lot from place to place and job to job. There are so many factors to consider and you have to make that judgement if it is worth spending all the money to get a job or if you can go into a job right after high school.
