I believe that everyone is entitled to an education. That really goes without question. However, I am not certain that everyone needs to attend college, especially in today’s world. In 2013 a poll was taken of college graduates. The main question asked was whether or not the graduate was able to find a job in the field in which they graduated in. The results were a bit startling. Of all the graduates polled, only 27% of them were actually working in their major field. Some 54% were working in entry level jobs such as at fast foods restaurants, as grocery or retail store cashiers or as couriers. They were all living under a burden of debt which many were not able to pay due to their entry level jobs. Nearly 7% were unemployed, living back at home and dependent upon their parents and the remainder were considering returning to college to study another field. The immediate future does not look any brighter. So if you are thinking about attending college, maybe you should take another look. Will it really benefit you or bankrupt you? Does a degree really get you into the door of a major company anymore? Is the degree worth any more than the paper it is printed on? As for me and my family, I don’t think so.
