Is College Over-rated?????


This is a hot topic in the student community! According to CBS, Americans have over 830 billion dollars in student loan debt. I personally relied on student loans to support me through my undergraduate career and am currently pursuing a higher degree with hopes that I would be able to acquire a job that would compensate for those loans as well as support a decent quality of life. I have a wide range of friends and associates. Some that went straight into the workforce from high school, some attempted college but didn't finish, some obtained an undergraduate degree and some that obtained a higher degree. I have classmates that are very successful although they only have a high school diploma as well as classmates that have their master's but are living check to check. So this topic always makes for a good debate because there are advantages and shortcomings at both ends of the spectrum.
