High school student ask themselves when they near the end of high school that college study is necessary for success? However, going to college is becoming more and more important. College education makes an applicant stand out from the crowd. Getting a college education opens up many opportunities that may not have been available to a student with just a high school education. On average, college graduates earn around double in their life time than high school graduates. But there have been many examples where people with just a high school education have gone onto big things, so by Not going college does not mean someone is failure. What you think about it?

It seems success manifests in different ways for different people. I know some people who are considered very successful by others, but do not agree to that they are successful :) There seem to be others considered average by others, yet they feel very fulfilled in their lives ... They say success is about being able to live life the way we feel like living it. It seems more important than higher education in a school or university is the inner voice concept by Stephen Covey. He said we find out inner voice when we are guided by conscience, aware of and responsive to the needs in our surroundings, aware of and using our talents, as well as pursuing our passion. Covey summarized it as talent, passion, need and conscience ... to find out inner voice that will lead us to become what we were meant to become - to be a success in our own unique way. What do you think ?
