Pros vs Cons<\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s always been people debating whether someone should go to college or not. Some people who have a college degree make more money than someone who doesn\u2019t have a degree. On the other hand, there are people who don\u2019t have a degree and make more compared to someone who did go to college. This will always be an ongoing debate because it\u2019s different in every situation. To break this down, I thought it would be helpful to state some pros of having a degree and cons of graduating with a college degree.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pros: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– College graduates have more and better employment opportunities<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By\n having a college degree, there are many more choices in the field of \nwhat you could work for. Many jobs have requirements to have a college \ndegree, giving them the access to apply for that type of job.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Benefits <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most jobs that require a college degree offer insurance and benefits to the workers. Workers may also have the chance to get some days off and paid holiday days depending on the employer. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Futur<\/em>e your skills<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universities have career fairs so students can get familiar with employers and questionnaires. There are lots of chances to get help with a resume, interview questions, or just someone to talk to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cons: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Student Loans <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Majority of the population doesn\u2019t pay off their student loans until age 30-40 because of the high percentage rates and high tuition costs. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If someone didn\u2019t go to college, they wouldn\u2019t have college debt.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Unemployed <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some find it hard to get a job or sticking to a job that meets their needs, or have other responsibilities causing them to be unemployed. \u00a0On average it takes someone 6 months to a year to get a job after graduating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

-College degrees do not guarantee learning or job preparation<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When going to college, you can only learn so much background knowledge and definition on a topic. That’s teaching you about something, not how to do a job. Once you are hired for a job, the employer teaches you everything you need to know. Lots of employers have a job that doesn’t fit there degree. As long as you have a bachelors or masters, you can get a job almost anywhere even if it’s not in your field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
