I believe that going to college getting a degree is very important. You get to meet new people who than can help gain connections with. I agree slightly with Melissa but not with all the 5 points she brought up. I highly agree with financial sense because yes having an education helps you get better jobs your not struggling to make ends meet. I don't agree with what she said about it being good for democracy. I don't believe in politics I think it's all crap. In the 20th century most jobs require a higher education therefore it is important to go to college. You gain many lifelong skills. Through my college experience I have gain skills . I didn't agree with Stephens saying you don't learn in college because u certainly have. I'm going to school to be a nurse the skills that I will need to know need to be taught at an institution. You just can't put a nurse into the field expecting her know the anatomy of a body that needs to be taught. Nonetheless Ido believe college is a require because you gain knowledge and an education that society thinks it's necessary.
