Response: After reading the three articles, I was shocked to see some people's opinions about college. In today's economy people are starting to stay away from college because of the expense. Many people can dream of their perfect job, but if people don't have the money or not able to take out loans that dream won't happen. I think personally that college helps you get a job for the future. I know many they're many jobs that you don't need your bachelor's degree but it might not be the best or well payed. People are in desperate need to find a job so they'll take anything they can get. Some people are privlidged to go to college. And sometimes college isn't for everyone. One of my best friends just can't learn by sitting in a classroom. He is more of a hands on type of guy. He decided to take a year off to officially decide what he wanted to do. So far things have been going great for him. I just don't think college shouldn't be considered after high school. College will help better people's lives and make them become more educated. The only problem I have with college is the cost. I think it's ridiculous how expensive some schools are. When I first started looking for schools that I wanted to attend, cost was a major obstacle that got in my way. I really wanted to attend Ithaca College( if I decided to become a Communications students but I had a change of heart). Ithaca College costs $41,000 a year!!!! I would be in so much debt if I attended there. My parents try to help me out as much as they can but other than that I'm on my own. I would be in debt for the rest of my life, so I had to make a smart decision. And this is the problem for a lot of people. Many people get stuck in debt and don't know how to get out. People don't realize you have to start paying back the government when you graduate....and that's reality. In the end, people need to make the best decision for themselves. They'll have to be willing to pay so much money in order to become successful in life. The choice is up to you!
