I Want To Go To College

Decent Essays
College is an important step for a person but a lot of people think that college is not necessary. There are a lot of reasons why people want to go to college and I am sure that everybody's reason is different. I want to go to college because of one main reason and that reason is the opportunities it allows me to have.
I want to go to college because after I graduate and get my degree, I will be opened to more opportunities in life. I will be more inclined to have a better life if I go to college rather than just having a high school diploma. Finding a job these days is not the easiest thing to do in this economy. Nobody wants to go through all those years of school to be stuck in a dead end job; it is not a good thing to be associated with.
