Almost 20 years ago, I attended college and didn't last too long.
Looking back, I'm not sure why I quit. For the past couple of months I've
been debating on returning to college and the more I think about it, the
more I like the idea. It makes me CRAZY knowing that I quit so quickly and
I feel I didn't give college a chance to help me improve myself.
I've read several articles about people graduating from college and not being able
to find jobs. To me, that's pretty scary!! But I'm willing to give it a shot.
Will you be attending college soon? If you recently graduated from college, how successful have you been at finding a job? Do you feel your education has opened doors for you?

Hi, there cutie.when i glance the words above, just another question come to my mind, why we live,and what we live for? and now let come to your problem: how important is a college education? my friend, i will answer you question with the following questions.
1.why we live, and what we live for? for money, respect,or even big house, rich career? if that is your answer, you are not a real person, you are hollow and have been formatted by the most of the society. my answer is for feeling, eg. our love, our passion, our time spending with the family, happiness.
2.what we do for the life we wanna lead?
when we were 6, even smaller, we were told to study hard, and then jump from one school to another, and then graduated with a paper of diploma. we begin to find a job , earn money in the rat race.fortunately we all survived. and why? that is because race, competition wont kill people, just we make ourselves so busy, so hard, so confounded.
3.What the result, and what are you doing forit?
enjoying life is the result, and working for it is the procedure, for example, work, education you said. so why we heap lights on the procedure, and ignore the result?
and my friend, if you wanna enjoy the college life, avoid the rat race,you can go back to the campus, or you would better not!
