People attend college or university for many different reasons. Some people want new experiences, others want to prepare for careers. In my opinion, there are some important reasons why people want to attend college or university. In the following discussion, I would develop my ideas in sufficient depth and details.
First of all, people who have degrees can get better jobs and earn more money than others. In my country, don’t have degrees is a serious issue that if we don’t have a bachelors or a masters degree, we won’t a get good position in any companies. In addition, most firms will also offer high salary for people who graduate from college or university.
Second reason is that people want to learn more and increase their knowledge. We all know what we learned in high school is only common knowledge, including native language, math, general science, etc. However, these skills we learned in high school are not enough for future careers. If we want to understand more specific knowledge, such as economics, marketing, or calculus, we have to study in college or university.
Last, but not least, people want to prove they are as good as others. In my country, over ninety percents of people have bachelor degrees; it is very common, and all children have to attend college or university. If we don’t do that, our parents will be very ashamed of us. Moreover, putting my family to shame is a terrible thing in our culture.
To sum up, getting a better job and earning more money, learning more and increasing knowledge, and proving themselves are the three most important reasons why I think people have to attend college or university. |
