Why are you attending College?
Are you attending because you think that is what all high school graduates are suppose to?
Do you want a secure career with great benefits and income?
Do you want to go up the corporate ladder?
To find your future wife?

Because I have a greater chance of surviving with some (or full) college education than a HS diploma.

Plus to fulfill my parents' wish.

If I had a choice...I would still attend college.

I like to make something out of my life and hopefully become very successful because of what college has taught me.

Knowledge is indeed power.
If you have knowledge, you gain respect from others.
And I sure hell don't want to work for a minimum wage.

Everyone has their own definition of success.
For some, higher income and a large bank account can mean success.
Owning and operating their own business can mean success.
Having a job with an income of $35,000 a year that provides health care and short hours can mean success.

I should make a new thread for this topic.

Trying to get myself a degree and learn something new everyday.
And it would be nice to land me a job that provides me a good income. Got to support myself once I leave home.

LOL
What if it is the opposite where your wife makes more money than you and you need to stay home, watch over the children, wash the dishes, and etc.
Lot of women are looking upon their career more than having to take care of their children. Career first then comes family.

Sucks for the guys.
