Topic > Why People Attend College - 1191

Although many students are clear about their future path, there are also many students who attend college for no reason and view it only as a goal or task. Many people take pride in being highly educated people. Therefore, many students think that it is not bad to attend university. In Hong Kong, we have to choose our majors when applying to universities. And it is not easy to change our major after entering colleges. So we need to decide quickly what we learn at university. These students do not have enough time to think about their major and future career, and they cannot change their major if they will one day know what they want to learn. Although education is important because almost all countries encourage people to study, this does not mean that everyone should go to university. Education is necessary but college is not necessary for everyone. For those students who do not need to attend college, they cannot learn much in college. They might choose a major they don't like at all and sleepwalk through their college life. It is useless for their future career and wastes their time. But if they use these four years to do other things, like work or whatever they like to do, they might learn more from them. So everyone should be aware that college is not for everyone. Petrilli
