Michelle Obama once said, “You have to go to college. You have to get your degree. Because the one thing people can’t take away from you is your education. And it is worth the investment (投资).” How unfair is it that she is trying to decide people’s future for them? There are many different ways a person can choose to live their life. A common lifestyle that is followed by many people is the lifestyle that leads you to college. Once you make it through high school, college is followed. This is where the college experience is achieved, the schooling is leading you to a so-called bright future, and the living experience is building up the responsibility, so that one day you will be ready to have a family and keep economic independence on your own . But, is this life really the life for everyone? Not all jobs need a college education. People have other plans besides continuing education after high school. Besides, college is just really expensive. Going to college is certainly not for everyone.
Granted, some people would argue that students could apply for scholarships to help pay for college, but this still is only helping pay for parts of the schooling bill. Another argument someone could make is that college will help a person become more responsible. In fact, a person who will start living on their own will cause them to have to make more responsible decisions. Also, becoming responsible is something that is done on its own. It is mostly self taught. There are a ton of more ways to become a responsible adult other than college. Lastly, someone could insist that education gives you a chance of more open future. This is a poor argument considering how many jobs are out there that don’t involve a college education.
In conclusion, college is not meant for all high school graduates.
