Go to College? Why?

The answer to if you should go to college is somewhat a gray area. There are many variables to account for. One is that it depends on what your careers goals are. Some people are better off having employable skills and talents rather than a degree, which may bury them down by the cost of education. Hence, Jon Steinberg is negative about college, as seen on the "'I Don't Want My Children to Go to College'" and the video response to his statement, even though Steinberg he went to college. On the other hand, college is important to those who would prefer professions like being a doctor or a surgeon. College will provide intensive training and other programs to know and to give experiences to execute the job well. Another variable to account for is the background of the person. The answer will vary depending on your race or socioeconomic background. In "Why Go to College at All?," Holly Ojalvo interviews Dale J. Stephens. He had a few good points of why one should not go to college. Those may have been true for him, but not to everyone. Had he not been selected for Thiel Fellowship Program, would he still stand by his philosophy? Stephens seems to be from a pretty well-off family, where 'unschooling' is an option.  To many, it is not. Intriguingly, there are no statistics provided with his points. Merely, they are just his opinions or reflections backed up by his experiences. Although, I can't disagree with what he said.
