Yet, each individual has a different reason for desiring to move on to college. Students attend college either because they want to increase their knowledge, get a decent paying job after college, or they just want to get the “college” experience instead of going on to the working force after high school. As a first-year college student, I pictured college to be a “… place for learning and growth…” (Jerry Faber, 387), but I was slightly wrong. Everyday I stress over earning a good grade in my classes, instead of being driven to learn the material of the course.

Is College Debt Worth It? We all grow up being exposed to the thought of college being full of parties, drinking, and a whole lot of sex. As a college student, I can attest that the exposure we’ve experienced is true, but there is one thing that the media has failed to mention: College debt is real and obtaining a degree doesn’t mean you’ll have employers throwing copious amounts of money at you. In the article “Debt Education: Bad for the Young, Bad for America”, written by Jeffrey J. Williams, data shows that tuition has increased at roughly three times the rate of inflation.

I have four requirements that need to be met including, 3.0 GPA or higher, 18 or higher on the ACT, 95% attendance, and a high school diploma.

They would be able to receive an education to help them get a job and make money.
