Why is getting a college degree so essential to getting a good job in our society today? Four years and for some a hundred-thousand dollars worth of debt on average for people, it just does not seem worth it. I read in a paper at one point that it is not even the “A” or “B” students that do the best in life upon leaving college. But rather it is the “C” students that have proven to make the most money on leaving school. I know that it is not about making the most money in life, but with the rising costs in today’s society, money is proving nice to have. Is spending a hundred-thousand dollars on schooling really worth getting the job right out? Or would it prove better to go to work straight out of high school and get right into making money? In my personal opinion, it is getting to the point that I would find that college is not near worth the money being charged for it. The jobs are just not there right now in many fields and the money spent on college is not a sure shot after getting out of school. This is tough to justify to people whose families are paycheck to paycheck families. With the cost of life going up and the jobs disappearing, college is getting more and more tough to justify as an expense. It is very beneficial to go to school, but the more the price goes up to go to school the more unrealistic and unethical it appears.
