Difference Between Going To College

There are many differences between going to college and deciding not to. Some may think there are not a lot of differences and that going to college is not a very big decision to make. In reality, this is a huge important decision you have to make. It can affect you in more ways than what you think and I believe after you read this maybe you will agree with me. So hopefully, I can help you make a better decision with the differences I will be discussing. First of all, you obviously can get a higher education. I know I am stating the obvious but I don’t think people actually think about what that means. It’s not just on paper, you will actually be able to learn more about every course you decide to take whether it’s History, English, Computers, all of them will help you learn those categories. Which will eventually help you be able to have more intellectual conversations and get a career started. One of the courses in college that has helped me was a computer course I had taken. Most jobs, now days, require you to be computer literate and expect you to know how to use the programs that are on it such as; Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word and many other programs. Computer college courses have helped me tremendously in learning how to use computers properly, including many of those programs. A lot of jobs also require you to be bilingual, which you could take a foreign language course to help you be more fluent in another language. I understand that most of the jobs just require being able to speak in both English and Spanish, which you can take either or, but there are other languages you could learn as well for fun, such as; French, German, Chinese, and many other languages you can choose from. Another area I would like to mention, is being able to understand what is going on in the world today. I have taken a History course and personally for me, it has helped me to realize how we have gotten where we are today. On the other hand, if you don’t pursue college you will not receive all of these advantages. Now yes, you can sit at home and research everything, but more than likely you wouldn’t, because there is not as much motivation. If you’re in college you have invested in yourself and there are deadlines that you would, more than likely, want to meet. Which you should invest in yourself. That’s one of the problems that can occur if you don’t attend college, you will feel unworthy and that other people are above you. That’s not true, everybody is a human being and is capable of succeeding in all the same areas. You just have to want it and be willing to give it your all. The second way these differentiate is it is a lot easier to get employed if you have some sort of degree. Whether it’s an Associates, Bachelors, Masters, or even a certificate of some sort all of them will help you get a career going. Now I will say the higher education the better but I know that may not be possible for all. At the very least I would say to at least go for an Associates. The reason being is that it shows that you are capable of committing to something, and that you have the basic knowledge down. This will also help you get hired on to a higher position and, for the most part, this also means a higher income. That’s why I …show more content…
Either way you are still capable of getting a job, getting promotions educating yourself, paying for bills and even managing your time, energy, and money. Whether you choose to attend college and or not I have made some things available to you in this discussion. It is a very big decision and I feel it is always important to further educate yourself. I hope you have found this information helpful to you. When I was researching college I know all of these points helped me out tremendously. No matter which one you decide to pick I hope you find joy in whatever career you have chosen and are able to live a happy, financially stable,
