Is getting a college degree important? Erin Knox

After reading the three articles, I am not sure what to think. Am I wasting my time at college, working to get a degree, paying crazy amounts of money, to end up jobless and in debt? Is it worth my time going to college, or should I get a union job that doesn't require a degree? It all depends on a person's personal opinion. For me, I can probably get a low wage paying job; however, there is no job security and I would not be happy. In today's society, getting a college degree looks better to potenial employers, but doesn't guarantee you will get the job. More and more people continue on to college after high school. SO if more people have it, a degree is less valuable.

Overall, from my stand point, I am going to continue working at getting my B.A. and hopefully, once out in the real world, the job market will improve. I need to be optimistic. I never considered not going to college. Yes, I will be in major debt, thanks to all my loans, but hopefully my discision will be worth it.
