Why College Is Important to Me
Why College is important to me
“The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance,”1 said a famous historical Philosopher named Socrates. Having a college education is such an important part of my life. It provides the opportunity to gain a higher knowledge into the field that I am working towards. I personally feel that having a college degree earns you a certain respect and not only that, I feel you gain feelings of higher self-respect. I’m setting the standards higher for myself.
When you look for a good job, one of the requirements you see often is a college degree. That higher education means higher success in life. You walk into that interview with higher confidence as you worked so hard at obtaining that degree that is going to be the foundation for the success of your life. You know what you are doing. You believe that the employer you are interviewing with will see all your hard work and see that you have the experience to earn the position that you are applying for. You will be seen as a concrete asset to the company in which you want to work with. Employers see college education as experience and experience leads to a better job. College education is like training for the job. You are training yourself for the success for your life. You are opening up yourself to opportunities that you would have if you didn’t have a college education. Wouldn’t you want to work for a job that you have chosen and not one that you have to do? A college education can help you do that.
“There is no doubt that a college or university education is extremely valuable to an individual who is striving to improve his career and the life of his family.”2 I look towards how important getting a degree means for my own family. The knowledge I can gain to improve my daughter's education is rewarding enough in itself, not to mention the potential of earning more money for my family. Who wants to work for a marginally low income in a world like this?
