Why is college portrayed with such paranoia? It's not going to eat you or anything.
College, I believe, was meant to be selective - so that the most brilliant and dedicated minds can specialize themselves to improve people as a whole. It was never meant for everyone.
In fact, it asks for a rare combination of dedication, patience, willpower, the desire to become educated, and a high capacity for learning. This way, the best of the best have the chance to do what they love.
I agree that individual success does not require a college education. No problems with that. This is because life's happiness and successes are just as unique as the person experiencing them - no two ideas are the same. One person might think success is a modest home on a median income. Another may think success is surviving another day. Some may even think success is simply living happily, which has several meanings as well.
Generally, the point I'm bringing is that success doesn't have to equal wealthiness or official documents. Don't worry about college if you feel it's not worth it. It's more important to find what you love doing most - and sometimes to leave the heartache for those most willing to take it.
Do you think colleges should lower their costs?
