I Am In College

As tuition goes up each year is college even worth the student loan debt. Back when my mom was in college(my dad went to a trade school), a degree was really worth something. Nowadays, it seems students are more in debt and are working minimum wage jobs to pay off that instead of working in the field they got a degree in, unless you're going for the medical field. I've been at my junior college for 3 years and hated it every since day one. The only reason I'm still in college because I'll be done next year. To be honest I've learned more from my PE classes that I took than from my required classes that I have to take. The education system isn't what it use. I believe high school and college should teach basic life skills and actually prepare us for the working world we have to ascend to after graduation.

we were told things, that wer not true,, when you pare3nts were young tuition was lowere, a LOT lower and often free
now it is a scam,, borrow MANY thousands,, in hopes of a better future, one where you will owe asmuch as a new house, just to compeat in the market

@Amylynne trust me I know college is a scam I wanted to know how many people know it is too. Yeah some are successful in getting out debt free but it's still a scam period.

@Amylynne yes that's so true. I'd drop out if my parents wasn't paying for my books are ridiculously high even if I'm renting them.
