A college education is very important for many fields. However, only half of college freshman end up finishing their degree. Also, according to research, about half of graduates don’t get a job they went to school for. Finally, americans change careers more than 7 times through out their lifetime.
This is why who we become is MORE IMPORTANT than the classes we take. We need to learn “Life Skills” for life after college. We may not use or remember that class in the future but we will be with ourselves for the rest of our life.
Unfortunately, we don’t become the best versions of ourselves during college. It’s not necessarily the college system’s fault, but the culture of college. I have seen many of my friends struggle to find jobs, still living the party life, and move back in with parents.
