I'm writing a paper about furthering your education and I need some help. I really would like to know how others feel about this subject.

Let me speak from the voice of experience here. I'm 44, married with 2 kids, work 50 hours and am almost finished with my bachelor's degree. I would not have this job without nearing the completion of my college degree.
Before I returned to finish my degree, I was having difficulty finding any type of decent paying job. I finally had to work as a security guard because I could not find anything that paid more than $8.00 per hour and I had several years of experience!! But when you live in Michigan's economy, there are not a lot of job opportunities here.
The college degree opens a lot more jobs to you. Many jobs require bachelors degrees because of the critical thinking skills involved.

Furthering one's education is one of the best helps one can offer self and to society at large. Obtaining a college degree will guarantee you a certain amount of position, prestige and qualification to take up quality positions. Education draws you into a world of culture.

The main reason why I wanted to further my education is because I am the first one in my family who had the potential to go further. I didn't want to end up like the majority of my family, and I always did like school (shh don't tell anyone!). I wanted to obtain a university degree because of the doors it could open for me in my future.

If you want more then you need to learn more. Companies pay for what you know so if you want to make good money you need to know more and have the piece of paper that shows that you do. Simple as I could put it.

If there was an option other than college

no one would be in college.
