Why College Is Ultimately What You Make Of It
Teenagers who just got out of high school usually have mixed feelings over what to do next after graduation. Some are excited to get a job right away but majority look forward to college life during which they can live and study on their own. The transition from high school to college may not be that easy but with the support of parents and guidance counselors, many teenagers will be encouraged to attend college.
College is the more serious phase in a person’s pursuit for higher education. Making it through college depends on a student’s attitude, study habits and skills especially as he or she lives away from home and start an independent life. A teenager’s future career also depends on what degree he or she finishes.
Different surveys have found that high school graduates, regardless of race and ethnic background, see the importance of college but have differences in attitudes while some feel they lack the skills expected of them in college and in work. The survey by Public Agenda entitled “Life After High School,” revealed that majority of young adults value a college education as it prepares them for the real world, increases chances of promotion and lets them earn a living. More women enjoy being in school while 86 percent of young adults said their parents instilled in them the value of a college degree.
Getting a college education is definitely worth it. One greatest benefit you will gain after earning a degree is the opportunity and options that will be made available to you. You will get the opportunity to broaden your knowledge on various fields of study and especially on your field of interest. While pursuing your post secondary education, you will have the chance to read more books on different subjects and listen to lectures of top experts in their respective fields. This will entice students to think, investigate and explore new ideas thereby promoting growth and development.
A college degree also gives graduates the opportunity to be employed in a company or organization and earn income. It also enables students to gain valuable connections that could help them when they start searching for jobs. And while employed, having a college degree assures you of more promotion opportunity.
A college education should challenge students and not discourage them. It is vital that they have a supportive family as well as the right attitude (self-confidence, perseverance, patience, diligence) from the start to enable them to reach their academic goals. Sometimes, it is when teenagers are away from their family that they make great achievements in their young life particularly when it concerns their studies and extra-curricular activities.
