So this is why i went to college..

After reading "Serving in Florida" by Barbra Ehrenreich i truly realize how glad i am to be in college. To think that i complain that it costs so much money or is to hard.. this really put it into perspective for me.. there is no way that i could live life making minimum wage and working double shifts and having the chance of ruining my body through hard labor. These very reasons are why i went to college and for anyone that is thinking about dropping out or simply not going i think that you are crazy. Life would be so much more difficult for years and years then to just suck it up for a couple years at college. I dont remember what study it was but having a bachelors degree earned like over a million dollars more then someone without an eduaction.. dont quote me on this but honestly why not go to college and make some more money ya it sucks to pay for in the beginning but if you think about it, it does get paid off and thats comforting.

  1. I agree with you when you said reading "Serving in Florida" put school in perspective. Getting an eductation makes the biggest difference. I've seen that study you mention about the difference in the amount of money made and how much school someone gets, it is amazing.
