Two years for primary school, 6 years for elementary and 4 years in high school which total to 12 years of studying and maybe you’re wondering, what’s the need of having to deal with the agony longer of going to college?

There are students who sentiment a bit or are very upset and weighed down that they are now having qualms of not taking college anymore.  They think that the subjects to take on college are a whole lot similar with high school.  They believe that they can do just study or attend a make up class if ever there are still lessons that they’ll miss, that they can just ask someone to do the dissertation proofreading for them.  They also know in their hearts that they will find a respectable job even if they just finished high school.  

I'd like to say yes, it could be very true.  You can find an standing job even if you only have the high school diploma on hand.  It’s just that there are companies who do not distinguish promotions when they lack credentials.  And while you can be paid a reputable amount of wage, it’s still different when you’re getting the ceiling pay.

Entering college is making further encroachment with your studies.  It is the stepping point of realizing your dreams.  So, what if it’ll take you few more years, if you’ll be taking more exams or you’ll get onto harder projects and even more dissertation help.  Just think of the fruits you’re going to garner someday.

You make a very solid point. It goes both ways, there are people who think that going through the motions of college and earning a degree will GUARANTEE them employment upon graduation. This mindset is almost forced on any student who grew up in the 90s and 2000s, especially african american students whose parents didn't have the opportunity to further their education. (that's a whole nother topic)

My point is that paying for education shouldn't put a young adult in thousands of dollars of debt. Why is it SO accepted for someone to amass that much debt at such a young age? And half the time, 17 & 18 year olds don't have the real world experience to fully understand how much they're borrowing, they just sign on the dotted line so they can follow the 'plan' to accomplish the american dream. Maybe things would be better if the younger generation could truly evaluate what the 'plan' entails and see that there are other ways to gain the same success.

Earning a college degree for the University of Baltimore is the hardest thing and the most satisfying thing that I have ever done.

Some people make the mistake of equating college with a job or money, or position or power or some combination of these, but, frankly? You don't need college for any of the above, but college does not hurt either.

You need college to liberate your mind. You need college to make the greatest ideas an opinions in mathematics, politics, science, government, management and such real to you. You just can't cross over the intellectual divide without a college education.

College is the difference between burgers and fillet Mignon. College is where you get equipped with the things that help you make a living from those that help you make a life. College is where you find out if you really know how to think, since it is the place you get the things to think with.

What are your views on the amount of debt the average student takes on to pay for further education?

I definitely believe that further education is the way to go.. but at the cost most of these colleges and universities charge? Not worth it. Especially when you have tons students fresh out of high school who have no work experience. Why pay $40K a year to study someting you've never even practiced?
