Among the questions many people ask is whether college degree is a guarantee of future success. The question arises because of the number of years people spend on education and the amount of money invested. A lot of people compare other options such as using the money for college education to startup a business or even buy a home for rental purposes. Which argument can you use to convince these people that investing in college education is useful. Sometimes, you see many families incuring debt to educate their children. After graduation, some of their children still live with their parents because their income is too low to sustain them. Some graduates may not even get job. The second question is: why should I spend money and time and have no job after graduation. These arguments makes me look at education from a different perspective. If someone without a college degree can be successful, why should another with college degree or even with PhD just go by?
This is the question a college student or college graduate should ask himself. Instead of this question, many college students think that having a college degree automatically means success. However, many become deceived after graduation when they realize that getting job is even difficult. It should be clear that education in general is very important and college degree is also important. The importance of college degree can be felt by different specialties, such as, medicine, dentistry, engineering, etc.
But, how then can knowledge lead to success? This discussion will continue in the next posts.
