Why do you think people attend college or university?

Hi friend, According to me, most people attend collage / university to develop themselves to face challenges of life, and to prepare themselves for earning their living.

One idea is to develop their interests or to prepare for work... some companies prefer specialized or highly skilled people to get the job. Also, in developing their interests, they do better in those aspects and possibly they can use that to help them in the future...

I think knowledge is the only asset you have that no one can steal from you. It is yours to keep till the end of time and with the scrolls of degrees earned from attending colleges and univisities will armed a person with better job prospect anywhere in the world without fear. It is vital for the younger generation to earned themselves a university degree to be in this competitive world otherwise they will be left redundant in the mainstream of development. In this rat race world, education is important to survive the challenges.

i remember what my parents advice that education is the only for success in some point its true without a diploma in college its its hard to find a job and those who the bachelor degree and masteral degree has these advantages in finding a great job.but it also include luck and perseverance to reach our goal in life it needs alot of hardwork and dedication in the work.

hi zeethegr8! I grew up from a middle class family. My parents used to tell me that education is the only thing that they can give me for inheritance. It is the only thing that nobody can take away. I believe they are right. It is a way for us to prepare for our future. Not just because we want to be employees all our lives, but it is the only security that we will have. For instance, even if you are able to establish a business, you may still lose everything in an instant due to different reasons such as economic down turn, fire accident, etc. If you have at least a degree in college, you are still able to have an option to be find a good job when you most need it.

To better them selfs and earn an degree to make more decent cash.

With how society works and employment goes, attending an institution wherein you can get recognized with certain advantages to make themselves candidates worth considering in particular professions is really a necessity. That's basically why people attend such institutions of higher learning, to be better off in their future. Comparing that to those who didn't attend college or university, they just have little opportunity in any career that they would like to have. Then again, there are those exceptional few who are able to claim their success even without the help of such institutions that would grant them certificates. Perhaps they can go on with their careers by their talent or special skills. But, for those who don't recognize their own skill or just don't want to venture with such capabilities, they all just have to aspire on the usual route, through education and after that, be impressive when they want to be employed.

If somebody is going to limit himself to jobs in any company, then he needs a degree, which is the basic qualification. But for self motivated persons who are ready for a business, the knowledge from the college is not enough. He has to rely more on his experience. Anyhow, a college can provide the basics for him too.

Well its true that knowledge and education plays an important role in our life. Also its not mandatory that we can gain knowledge from colleges or universities only. We can gain knowledge from anything around us. But still, colleges and universities are the places for gaining them in bulk as well as we are tested by examinations and rewarded too by the degrees which are the proof of our knowledge. So why not one shall go to college, If he really wants to gain knowledge. And apart from knowledge and education, college is really fun.

I don't think it is a must to study at a college or university in order to be successful, but I think it helps in many cases, since you learn a lot of really valuable things there. I know I learned a lot when I was studying anyway, and I do think that this will show sometime in my future. Also, you meet a lot of great people who become your friends for life when you go to college or university. That's not a bad reason either!

For get all good things. But it depend on how learner use that chance.

People go to colleges and university to get a college degree.. it is believed that by getting one increases ones chance of succeeding in job hunting.. but i really disagree in this premise.. a college diploma never assure your success in the future.. It is my belief that in real life it's the Emotional Quotient (EQ) being street smart that really counts a lot and not the Intelligence Quotient (IQ), unfortunately you don't learn EQ in colleges and Universities, you learn them in real life, learn them in failures, and the University of Hard Knocks (real life challenges). You can take my word on this

Having a diploma or degree helps us in many ways specially in finding a job and also you will have an edge because we are living in a competitive world and having a degree will help you boost up your chances in landing a good job or any job. Just like what my parents said "education is the only thing that they can give us, and the only thing that we can inherit".

I think it's definitely to open more "doors", or opportunities. A lot of places won't even bother having an interview with you without a bachelor's degree. You may go to college for a specific job in mind, but you may not end up doing that for the rest of your life, but your skills picked up in college will give you such a wide variety of options to choose from. Times are hard, and having a bachelor's/masters/whatever gives you a definite advantage over others applying for a job. I think I've also heard that college graduates make on average around...$10,000+ more per year than people without college degrees. I don't know about you, but I like those odds haha.

Nowadays the competition is very serious, it is not easy to find a good job. Therefore, you have to be much more special and better than others, then you will be employed. And first of all, the certificate plays a main role in the job recruitment, especially for young people who don't have more working experience. I love China

i think there are several reasons behind it. First, title of education give great impact for your career. Companies tend to choose those with high education. second, the paradigm. Believe or not, those who really graduate from college with their own skill tend to have wide thoughts (not narrow minded) and mature in thinking and making decision. Besides that, you can also differentiate those who graduate from college and those are not from the way the talking. Those who really graduate tend to be more polite like profesionals

Some people go to college just for self establsihment and higher salary after graduation. It seems to be of substances. However, society is full of fierce competions. nowdays We have to horn our skills and employ our knowlege to make a living and even live a comfortable life. Therefore, we have to work hard and use every opportunity to practise. The other side of the coin is the opposite trend. Some guys play in the college just for the diploma and the certificate. In their minds , the graduation certifcate brings them the golden key which could naturelly elevate them and offer them wealth in the future. What a pity thought when they find themselevs wrong .Without the actual capability and the self value ,they can not get established everywhere. Second, this maybe the last chance for people to study in such an academic environment where professors teach them plenty of knowledge in many aspects; this also helps them to gain an abundant knowledge for future life. In sum, there are various reasons for people to go to college or university, but the main purposes are to prepare for future job and gain new experiences for their life. For the above reasons, going to a college or university is the suitable place in the hope of improving themselves or achieving their goals.Colleges or universities are having infrastructure such as buildings, liabraries, rooms to get the lecture, teachers, professors and you can say what ever facilities are required to students are available. But those students are not in such position they can study at their own and some other can attend classes at study centres or through private tutors etc.

When we talk about money and your purpose is just to have money, if you are rich you do not need to attend college it will be useless. Just put up a business and start making yourself rich. But if your purpose to gain respect, responsibility, good friends and especially knowledge attend college. Knowledge is the best key to successful personality.
