A lot of student when graduating high school are thinking if they will pursue their studies until college or work already to help their families. I know a lot of people that aren't college graduate but are having a good life and income, they say that if you finished college you'll have a better life. What do you think?

Well, if you want to earn a large income you should probably go to college. But, if your happy with middle class you could go straight to work or maybe a tech school and be completely happy. Now, this isn't true for everyone some people can make a large income and never have went to any college or even graduate high school. It all depends on the person. Personally, I went to a tech school to be a motorcycle mechanic. I know the salary is never going to be that great, but I enjoy it, have paid vacations and health insurance, and get to be around the things I like the most everyday. Its all up to you and what you want out of life.

how true... what effort you sow, is what you will reap in the future... so hard work does pay off.

I also wanted to tell you that I know many people that went to college and now can't find a job in their field. They won't accept anything less than what they went to school for and it is ruining their lives because they have school loans to pay off. School loans are nothing to mess with your financial credit will suffer for your entire life.

Yup, getting to college is really expensive. That's why many are not continuing it anymore. I think the most important thing is still hard work, patience and patience.

When it comes to this question, different people may have different ideas.
From where I stand, for the long run, students should pursue their studies to further education. With a high degree, people can earn money money, find a better job with a high position. If their family are not very rich, going to work is a wiser choice. Of course, with the downturn of economics, looking for a good job is not an easy thing, so, for most students, they can continue their education to avoid the keen competition.
Happy myLotting!

Yup, it's easy to get a job if your a college graduate. By the way, does 2 year graduate students have a higher chance to get a job than those in high school?

With the economy being bad it might be a good idea to go to college. President Obama has raised the amount of federal financial aid so it is more affordable to attend college. My husband is going to school online through the University of Phoenix getting is Associates in Communications.
I graduated with a BA in Education and because of the economy I am unable to find work. I hope to start graduate school soon so I can get ahead. I think once the economy gets better having a college degree will be more helpful.

This question haunts me every day lol. I see a lot of people earning pretty good income that only graduated High school and are happy. I think I am one of those people that don't need a lot so I have a hard time deciding what I want to do. I think I will end up going to college n maybe go on to be a mechanic. On some days though I wanna be a welder. lol
