The necessity of a college education in the work-force.

Tweet

College is becoming more and more necessary, in order to find a decent paying job that does not consist of flipping burgers and dousing french fries in grease. As I have taken only two years of college courses and am a few classes away from an Associates Degree I have come to understand the irritating importance of having a degree. Though I have studied hard, funding has become scarce and I am very limited as to what I am able to take. I look for jobs and it seems the only jobs I am qualified for are ones at movie rental stores, fast food, or retail shops making minimum wage which is not near enough to pay the bills. I live paycheck to paycheck hoping that life will eventually get easier and that I will be able to get myself out of this debt - that was mostly acquired by attending college. Jobs are hard to find no matter what - either you need a college education or you need 3-4 years experience in the field, but how are you supposed to have experience in a field if no one in that field is willing to train you? It's a very frustrating situation, especially when you are trying to make it on your own and feel as if you are slowly failing at achieving success on a monetary level.
