College or no?

The college/university you go to does not create success. In fact, even knowledge alone does not cause success. It is the application of your knowledge on a consistent basis that creates success. How you obtain that knowledge could be in a classroom, it might be from a book you read, someone you talked with who has done it before, or your own experiences. Just because you go to “higher education” doesn’t mean that you’re actually more educated than those who don’t attend college.

Sometimes, going to university/college is a requirement for specific professions. But for many other professions (I would even argue that maybe for a slight majority), I think classes tailored to a specific group of skills would be better suited to help individuals trying to get into that field. That’s not to say that I think college is bad or that I would take back my experience at all. BUT I do believe that we need to harp on options for young adults. Why go deeply into debt for a degree that may or may not help you?
