College...

    The best experience of my life so far. Never would I trade this in for the world! Currently, i'm not at the best school but [shrugs]. I've met some of the coolest people, fake people and learned how scandalous people can be. Besides all of that, I LOVE COLLEGE! 
    Yet, as I sit back and think about it, is the cost, stress, time consuming and worry's worth it? School is very expensive. And when you come from a family where its difficult to afford it, it makes you think twice. You try to make something out of yourself instead of just sitting around at home doing nothing looks good on you. But, at the same time you realize that your just furthering your education to get a slightly better income for a job you may already know how to do. Many people graduate college with degrees and are unable to find  jobs. There are many people that makes good money and live comfortably that didn't go to college. Many high school graduates are influenced by a lot of people  who says you need to get away and go to school. Cool, but how many of those people are helping to pay your tuition & costs for college? It's not easy to get scholarships to help you out enough so a lot of students are forced to get loans which puts you in debt when you're finish with school. When you graduate you think "hell yea, finally!" but then you realize "shit, i'm in debt so now I have FIND a job that pays well to pay back all this loan money!" So, is college really worth it? Most people graduate with a minimum of a Bachelors and cant find a job within their degree and major/minor. That's honestly why I feel that college students change their major so many times because you think "which career can I pursue that pays well and I can enjoy what I do?"
      .....Think about it!
