College, Is It For Everyone?

 

             Ever since, I was a child, the below types of advertisements have haunted my eyes and ears:.
             HAVE YOU EVER FELT RESTRAINED? DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE IN A GIANT .
             HALLWAY AND YOU CAN NOT FIND AN EXIT, BECAUSE NONE OF THE DOORS .
             WILL OPEN FOR YOU? WELL THEN, LET US GIVE YOU THE KEYS! GIVE US A .
             CALL AT 1-800-COLLEGE!.
             Although this advertisement is only five minutes long, it foreshadows five years of a person's life. In this commercial, the student is always happy and partying for the first two minutes, then you see about a minute in the classroom, a minute of graduation and finally, we see our proud graduate go and get their first job, before the boss even asks their name. Instant success story! Is college the only way to become successful in today's society? .
             The illusive dream of benefits which a college degree can bring a person is often beyond the experience of an average graduate. The average graduate in fact does not experience the total bliss of the dream, instead they get trapped into a state of total stress. This stress comes from financial burden, commuting, and time management issues.
             Financially, unless you come from a very well-off family or have a stable financial support such as a trust fund, a college student is drained. The average student pays somewhere between nine and seventeen thousand dollars a year in tuition fees. We also have to consider commuting expenses, books, meals and other miscellaneous fees. .
             These accumulated costs are sometimes not paid off until years after the student has graduated, even if they currently hold a job.
             Commuting is also a great hassle because if you do not own a car, you are running on .
             someone else's schedule and not your own. On the other hand, if you do have the luxury of owning a vehicle, traffic and road changes may cause you to miss classes. .
             Time management can also create problems, for the student. Students must fit sleep, study, work and classes into a tight schedule.
