Doubter

I did have many agreeable moments in the article, but as a college student I understand my reasons for attending. I feel that college allows you to have a choice and better opportunities in the workplace compared to others. I made plans before hand to come to college because I knew what I wanted when my time to leave approached. Although, the article challenges the idea of college it did not point out that for some things more than a skill is required. I have plans to become a teacher and I know that in order to do that a college education is going to allow that to happen. Also, being in college is more broad than a training school or other programs you can gain skills from. Im not saying that college is better, im implying that while in college you have to go through so many courses to get to one degree that can be beneficial in many ways as to a training for one particular skill that is primarily focused on one thing.

Nothing has greater value except for the cost of education, but in the long run if you have a college degree you will automatically have better opportunities. Lets be honest with ourselves, when going into an interview a major question is going to be based on your education. "Where did you go to gain your skill or degree?" We can not be blind to that it happens daily. So whether you practice a skill or attend someones college or university remember to set your goals and make them work for you.
