I am in Bible college at age 59. You are never too old to expand your knowledge. Science was one of my best subjects.

College was important in the past. Sometimes you loose all of your "common sense" because you believe that some one owes you because you have to pay back all those loans, etc. If you can be educated and have some "common sense" and respect for people you have accomplished a lot! Don't go around bragging about what college you went or go to. Just learn to be intelligent and maintain that "COMMON SENSE"!

Maybe someday I'll finish. If you want a better paying job or to actually try and improve conditions for your fellow man, college is ideal. If this is your reason for going, then I'd say it is important. If it's only for getting a degree and holding it up as a status symbol (and many, many, people do just that), then in my opinion you were a waste of tax-payers dollars.

It's giving me an opportunity to acquire training and instruction in two different fields, plus additional education in other areas that I might not have encountered otherwise. Also, college degrees are pretty much required these days within any serious field of employment.

I have an Educational Specialist Degree, a Master's Degree in English, and am a Reading Specialist. It makes a HUGE difference in one's paycheck.
I'm in my 27th year of teaching.

Because the world revolves around paper.
You have to have a piece of paper to prove you exist. one to prove you can work and one that proves you know what you are doing (if you want to be paid well). Hell you even have to have a piece of paper that proves you are dead.

College has gone corporate. It is not what it used to be, therefore, it is not important to me.
Save your money, open your own business, and reduce capitalism in America.

Well it's going to help me achieve my career goals.
I don't think college is a necessary for all.
But for me, it will enable myself to become an environmentalist.
