Attending college provides students with the knowledge and experience they are unable to receive from a secondary education, and finding a way to fund a higher education now can pay off in a huge way in the years to come.

its give you knowledge but not experience because is different when you learn without knowing how to apply it in real work so this could be achieved jus working and practicing it every day, you need to work around 10 years to pay your university debts, so you will start earn money after 15 years you finished yours college, when you are going to be around of 45 and almost going to retirement age, but starting to work you could have experience and gain a better job faster learning and working how to do this, and getting more money.

I strongly disagree with you in that college is just going wast your time

if you are really addicted to what you want to do in your life you have to get first information not just go like blind

How can you say it's "all" of them?! Aren't there great examples of people who never finished college but then went on to start their own business and become successful millionaires? A person with experience and no formal education could become self-taught and get a law degree in a state like California, with no college degree required.

I mean there are few examples like people who drop out of college and became millionaires

but not all of them, those are a few people who didn't have ability to afford college or they had a problem in social life

If you are still asking yourself why should people go to college, it is important to remember the significant amount of opportunity available for college graduates

30% of college and university students drop out after their first year, because they don't have enouth resourse to pay and have loans, because they don't have any property to leave like a loan for the money you need, and banks need approvement you are going to pay them back, so without it you can not go to college

more than 75 % of students required to take remedial classes never graduate, because of this statistic I think is just a waste of your time, money and another resourses when you could use this time to start working practicing and learning your job and be promoted to a new level.

What about all those employers that put in their job advertisement that a college degree is a minimum requirement to apply? How are people with huge experience going to get past that barrier without the piece of paper?

yes your are right they put that statement but when you are going with your fresh printed diploma and they are asking you how its supposed to be done something the college students dont know, and a lot of companies don't want to waste money on training from the beginning a new employer because ethey can quit or find a different job after finishing the training so the money are wasting money without reason

you are repeating yourself and you don't have anything to support your ideas, and most than half of the college age tennagers they don't know what they want to do so they are dropping their college and is a waste of money, but when you have a job and you can see if you like or not so you could figure out what you want to do
