10/1 Fight Club (Should Everyone Go to College?)

Pros:

  • Some majors don't need degrees, they need experience
  • The more someone has to pay for college, the lower the net benefit of attending
  • There is no way to value education- statistics
  • There are a lot of non-monetary benefits of attending college
  • You can get a Bachelor's degree, and the job outlook isn't good, so getting a job in that field is difficult
  • Some colleges (not-competitve) are not worth the price

Cons:

  • In the end there is still a net benefit of going to college, even if it's lower because school is expensive, there is still a net benefit
  • There a lot of successful people that do go to college, and finish college
  • FAFSA provides a lot of financial aid for those who need it
  • There are a lot of jobs that require a Bachelor's degree, and just experience won't cut it
  • Attending college is a smart investment  due to the positive format of the evolution of education (General Diffusion of Knowledge by Thomas Jefferson)
  • Having a degree is a safety net/ financial security
