Why College is Worth Time and Money

If you're in high school the most common question you ask yourself is “will i go to college? and is it really worth it ?” My answer is yes, this is why,college usually pays of in the long run, What I mean is that in average a person that goes to college gets a better pay. If you are planning on graduating with a degree that involves STEM ( science technology engineering and mathematics) there will be 4 jobs available for those graduates while on the other hand a high school graduate will have 4 persons competing for the same job including themselves. In most cases people who do/did go to college also are healthier and have a greater self

esteem. Lastly going to college pays off by offering a stable life and allowing future generations to have a greater education

For all high school students that are planning on graduating with a degree that involves STEM (science, technology, engineering, or mathematics) there will be many open doors for you in a large variety of jobs. These jobs include software developer, computer system analyst, information security analyst, accountant, school psychologist, etc. The need for people to work under these categories is increasing by incredible amounts with a range of 14% - 62% increase. This states that there will be many job opportunities for STEM graduates.

In average a college graduate makes a total of $53,800 average income compared to a high school grad that makes a total of $28,700 average income. In lifetime earnings a college graduate makes $1,800,000 while a high school $940,000. This allows a college graduate to have a stable living with a better credit and less debts. This type of pay may vary as well according to raise in pay and ranking higher in upcoming years. Though this may vary according to investments and management of accounts.

Most college graduates have a healthier lifestyle and greater self esteem meaning that they have a better quality of daily life they eat healthier have more free time unlike most high school grads that usually have to work double shifts and have to rush their food which usually causes them to have an unhealthy lifestyle like eating a bag of chips or a drive through meal because they are in a tight schedule. College graduates have a steady job and a well planned schedule. College graduates may be able to have healthy food and well planned meals since they they have more time and money to do so. people may have a better self esteem since they feel like they have accomplished something in life.

The way that going to college affects future generations is by expanding horizons and allowing them to have a further education.

What this means is that if someone as a parent has gone to college they are more probable to be involved in with the education and effort that their children have. For example a college graduate parent is more probable to read to their chi9ld than a parent that only graduated from college. The impact that this has a children is that it helps them have a better understanding than other children.

Though i must a agree that there are some exceptions as for to going to college for certain careers like in dance or drama. These persons could go into visual arts taking in mind that this is a debt that they are taking a chance with because not everyone becomes famous out of nowhere and most of these persons would have a very hard time paying back the debt and this would ruin their credit.

In conclusion going to college is the right choice since they will have a better life. People will have a better pay. They will have a better organization. They will have a better self esteem and a healthier lifestyle. College graduates in the future will a have a better life and better income. Going to college is going to allow people to have a healthy life and self

esteem.
