- Some people's financial situations do not allow them to afford a college education, so it does not make sense for them to spend the money on college
- It can make more sense for someone to join the workforce right away if their family requires it
- Not everyone who graduates with a college degree uses their degree in their field of study; in this case it is pointless to spend money on that degree
- highly-praised degrees sometimes have high rates of unemployment (i.e. architecture)
- the economy can make it difficult
- Loans on top of a bad economic situation are never a good idea for students
- work and obtain more money rather than spend money they don't have
- Going to college delays the time you could have been joining the workforce
- telling people they need to go to college is sometimes a disservice rather than encouragement
- You can break through socioeconomic limits
- if you work hard enough, and you have people skills, anything is possible
Con (Krupowicz):
- Everyone should go to college
- the investment is not terribly large if you are smart about where you go
- can get a Bachelor's degree for an inexpensive amount
- Much harder to make six figures without a degree
- Statistically people are stuck in the socioeconomic status in which they are born
- college education, although it is a risk, it can help someone break out of their poor socioeconomic condition and help the family
- Going to college teaches diligence, time management, and how to work
- College teaches essential skills to have before entering the workforce
- Certain degrees will not always work out
- needs to be more awareness of how the economy is working
- should not be educated for one specific career; get a more general degree, work hard, gain connections
