Pro Arguments:
- College can be expensive, and some people cannot afford it.
- The return on investment may not be positive, making it useless.
- Some people will end up in the work force anyways, so going to college is just wasting their time and money.
- There are numerous well-paying jobs that do not require a degree.
Con Arguments:
- You obtain a degree which strengthens your resume and chance of getting a job.
- It has been proven that people who have a degree earn more money then who don't.
- There is a variety of majors that allow people to customize their educational experience.
- College prepares you for the real world, besides educational purposes. For example, it gives you connections and shows you what it is like to live on your own.
Pro Counter:
- Some people don't have the necessary skills to make it through college even if they are in a major that interests them.
- Some people don't have time for college, especially if they have a job or potentially a family. Also, some people may not know what they want to do with their future, so waiting would be beneficial.
- Even though they may potentially earn more money with a degree, the return on investment may not be worth their while.
Con Counter:
- The workforce is adapting, where it is highly suggested to have a degree.
- Since the economy is in a recession, some people are working in jobs that they are over-qualified for, where they take the jobs of the less educated people, even though the job doesn't require a degree.
- Even though their is a lot of variability for return on investment, people will usually be able to judge where they will compare with other people.
