I am writing a college English paper on the value of a college education. Things to think about:
Is it worth the money?
Does the mind need to be intellectually stimulated?
Can you be happy without going to school?
Can you be successful without going to school?
Why are you going to school?
Why are you not going to school?
Will a degree guarentee you a job?
Have universities become so much like a business that they pump out degrees that aren't as in high demand?
If you did not go to college, do you regret not going?
Any other thoughts please let me know.
Thanks for all your help!!!!

It is only as valuable as you make it. Ie Bill Gates, JayZ and Kanye West did not finish/go to college.

It doesn't guarantee you a job, it is a slight guarantee that if you do get a job that requires the education.. you may get paid more. It is worth the money, I could be happy w/out going to school but I like learning and being "stimulated". I regret taking a year off because it was a year wasted, I didn't work and just laid around my apartment on ebay all day.
