Maybe an Unpopular Opinion? (since people always complain about school)
Posted at 3:01 PM
I understand completely how difficult and stressful college can be. I can see why people would argue that college is a waste of money given that there are student debts and you may not find a job until a decade after you graduate that can even pay off these loans. College has been stressful and hard for me and sometimes I think about dropping out, too.But despite all that, I feel like college is beneficial. I've stopped seeing college as a means to an end of acquiring a job. I like feeling more informed, I like feeling well-read, I enjoy learning and how it affects my decisions, my thoughts, my life. I believe that education, especially higher education, at an institute/university will help you out so much in life. From the resources, to great mentors and adults you create relationships with, to a variety of peers you come into contact with that enriches you and how you grow. This world is better off with more educated people.
This is not to say that uneducated people are inferior. There are people that did not go to college that are doing very well in life, that are as knowledgeable as their educated counterparts. I'm merely throwing out the thought that there are more opportunities that you wouldn't have gotten if you hadn't gone to school at all. There are many ways to learn and pursuing higher education can give you a major boost.
