Many Americans believe that getting a high school education involves getting a well-paying job. Therefore, parents who assume that attending college guarantees employment persuade their children to attend college even though their children may not want to apply. However, many people can still be successful in their lives without a college degree. For example, David Geffen, billionaire founder of Geffen Records and co-founder of DreamWorks. He dropped out of college after completing one year. Ashley Qualls, founder of Everythinglife.com, dropped out of high school at age 15. Additionally, Carl Lindner, billionaire investor and founder of United Dairy Farmers, dropped out of high school at the age of 14. As a result, having a college degree absolutely does not lead to job success. The college, whose tuition costs a lot of money, does not promise a higher income after students graduate. According to the College Board, the average cost of tuition and fees for the 2014-2015 school year was $31,231 at private colleges, and $9,139 for in-state residents at public colleges. (“College Board”) Additionally, international students and students from other states cost more expensive than these prices. Additionally, the government has increased college tuition, so many students have difficulty completing their college education. Many students may drop out of school because many of them have considerable debt. Additionally, many majors may not lead to finding a well-paying job. For example, someone who specializes in early childhood education earns $39,000 for a vindictive salary. Furthermore, after graduating with the Human Services major, he only earns $41,000 dollars a year (“the lowest paying major”) As a result, people who choose this type of low-paying major should… a half of the paper... ...have more attention and focus on the topic they are interested in. People should think carefully before making the decision to go to college. Today, attending college has become pop culture for many Americans. Many people go to college without thinking about why they should go to college and college really helps them with their jobs. We understand that many high-paying jobs and careers require a college degree; for example, engineer, doctor, lawyer and other careers. Additionally, studying in college should include critical thinking, reading, and writing. In contrast, if people don't want to study hard in college and don't choose higher education majors, they shouldn't apply to college because they waste time and money. In summary, people should be concerned about how they can succeed in their profession.
