Questioning the Real Value of College Education

It’s Just a Choice
Do you really want to go back to school for 2-4 years just to have a really big debt that clings to you for a majority of your life? College isn’t for everybody, to me it's only for those who can afford it. I really don't see what 2 years and a couple thousand dollars is gonna teach me besides trying to ration money and make sure i have a place to sleep and food to eat. I’m 15 and i have a job, but this job is not nearly enough to take me to college even if i were to save up till i graduate. My family isn't in the riches and my parents aren't together. There's very little I can do for myself and is the very reason why i would rather not go to college, I feel like i could spend my time in doing something i can enjoy rather than despise. A college education is not valuable to me because of the debt, stress which can lead to depression, and the lack of funds.
First reason why I feel like college is not valuable is the College Debt that comes after, According to (collegedebt.com) America alone there is $1.4 trillion in debt. About ⅔ of students graduating from college has some level of debt. (How the $1.2 trillion college debt crisis crippling students. -Chris Dehart) Student debt isn’t something that alot of people can take care of.

Furthermore my second reason that I feel is a big part of why i think college is not valuable is because all the classes and debt can lead someone to being very stressed out and not only that alot of people need jobs during college so they can pay for their living.

As time passes all the stress can turn in to depression, “Depression is the most common health problem for college students.” (www.nimh.nih.gov) And unfortunately “There are more than 1,000 suicides on college campuses per year. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among people aged 15 to 24.” (emorycaresforyou.emory.edu) If this is something that can be caused by college I do not want to

go.
Lastly the lack of funds for college, not only me but a great amount of other people don't have enough funds for college. For example in my family we don't have much money and we need to pay for bills like mortgage and electric, water all the basics but not only that we need food and clothes. For college students living off campus and not living with relatives the poverty rate is 52.8 percent. (Marina Fang)
Although everyone has their own opinions on college these are just a few main reasons why College is not valuable, The college debt is just too much for most people, the stress and depression is alot for a young adult to handle and lastly the lack of funds. In conclusion college is not valuablle.
