Dont believe the hype college is not a scam despite what people are saying [View all]

College is not scam and is worth it if you know what you are going there for and what you want to do is a viable career option. I’m making this article because in the last couple years there has been a surge of YouTube videos and articles pertaining to how college is a waste of time and money. And there have been videos of college graduates burning there degrees which I think is absurd. To be an adult and say I didn’t know I wouldn’t get a job after graduating is complete non-sense. On average to go to a Public university per year is 20000 or 35000 per year for a private university. And going there for four to five years is going to be a considerable amount of money. Right now I’m a sophomore Electrical Engineering student in Ohio.

When I was in high school I prepared myself to go to college through calling and visiting different universities. I filled out more scholarships than anyone else I knew and most people I graduated with were too lazy to fill them out. One scholarship I got which was a couple grand gave two scholarships for each of the six high schools in my city. The school counselor came on the announcements every morning telling everyone about new scholarships she has in her office. The one I just mentioned she must of said it a couple dozen times. And when I received it she later told that me and only one other person applied for it and they go it as well. So when people say well I have all these loans and can’t pay them off I don’t feel bad. Because there are so many scholarships out there and all of the ones I got are not financial aid based I receive no grants and still go to school for free. There are so many scholarships out there. Also I researched different fields and took certain classes as early as my sophomore year to help prepare myself for college. I saw so many people in high school messing around and not taking senior year seriously while me on the other hand was always on top of my game. I got accepted into five universities and choose the right one through more research of the programs and what kind of scholarships I could get. Also I looked into the job market and unemployment rate nationally and in different states. In college, students in a lot of degrees are almost ignorant of their prospects after getting a graduating. I hear people say well it’s not all about the money and should be something you find interesting. And I can agree on that but, what good is a degree when you’re not working and there is double digit unemployment for your field.
