Is college worth it?

alot of people have grown up believing that you have to have a college degree to make it in the world;or that a college degree will help you get the best job out there. this may be true in some cases but not always. just because you have a college degree does not mean that you have the skills wanted for the job at which you are applying for. a college degree to me is just saying that you have went the extra step to learn how to do something that interest you. there are plenty of people that can do the same thing that someone went to college for and have been applying it in there life alot longer than them. a college degree is just a peice of paper that looks better. there are plenty of people with college degrees that cannot even get a job right now. the good thing about a college degree is you do expand your brain and learn more that what you would by stopping at high school. it also looks better when applying for a job that you have a college degree instead of someone without one unless that person just so happens to get an interview and has been doing that type of work for alot longer but most times that would not be the case.

mine whould be "get money". growing up in the hood and coming from a poor family i never got much as a child. i always told myself when i got older i would do whatever it took for my family not to have to go through the same thing no matter what. money is not everything in life but it sure makes it a whole lot easier. i started in the construction feild when i was eight working with my uncle roofing trying to make some money. since then i have been in just about every type of construction feild you can think of. when it comes to hands on work i love it, i just get bored with the same thing over time so i start something else. if it makes money i love to do it. i want alot because i never had. now i get out there and make a way for something i like and my children usually get what they want to. this is why the saying "get money" stays in my head or when i see it it reminds me.
