well i dont thik it's necessary but that's the only way you can get a job these days, without it you won't eaven be able to peel potatoes in a restaurant.

Not quite the same-you can do apprenticeship training in-house with an employer so you work and gain qualifications and many young people I know have been successful in this way.

Well, I do feel it is necessary. I did not finish college but with the way jobs are these days... I definitely will push my kids to go to college. You can get much further with a degree than without one. Now, my sister is funny, she told me she doesn't believe in going to college... her husband went to college, got his degree, but still can't find a job...

College's worth different things to different people. To me it's only worth a nickle. At my first job after four of military service, I was making $15 per hour. I quit the job went to college full-time and obtained a bachelors degree with 3.15 GPA. My first job after college, I was making $11.45 and with no benefit ( Temp job) It's been about years now and I have no job yet. Just Temp hear and there. In college, they made sound like all you need is a college. This is a big lie, just realized that. Experience is better than diploma. Unless if you're going for anything medical or hardcore professional. Anything else is just waste of time and money.

I think college is overated. A couple years of practical on the job experience is far better. Trouble is, everyone wants to see a degree before you can get hired.

Yes college makes a huge difference especially if it is a professional course. It trains you to do more skilled jobs than you would be doing otherwise. It gives you the opportunity to geta job in a higher position than you would otehrwise have got. It gives you an advantage to compete. Most of all it gives you a standard way of life.

There's always a chance you'll find a well-paying job without going to college, but if you look at statistics and see the average pay for someone with a masters and the average for someone who never went to college, you could reasonably assume that you're going to make more money going to college. Of course, money is not the main measure of one's success in my book. But college is a great experience (supposedly) that provides you with friends and a wealth of knowledge if you choose your classes wisely and how hard you'll study. So I guess my answer is, for me, YES.

There is more than one kind of success. Decide where you see yourself and then get the kind of education you need to do that thing. Many successful people have not gone to school, but they all have goals!!!

Do the research for the right degree! Don't go to school for Rangeland Ecology if companies aren't hiring folks with Rangeland Ecology degrees! That 'just sounded good' to a buddy of mine. He got the degree... now he's a policeman. That's the biggest mistake folks make is going to school for degrees in what they think they want to do. Don't do that. Go for the degree that you can get, that companies are hiring for, and that you want to do. It's almost impossible to satisfy all three of those requirements I just mentioned, and that's how difficult a game it is to play. I would stick with something safe like engineering (there's a million fields in engineering, and many of them transfer across the board). Good luck!
