Should everyone go to college - Fight Club?

Pro - Jessica

  • Even though education is the lowest paying, it is necessary to go to college because you have to
  • 14% of people with high school diplomas make as much money as people with a bachelor's degree
  • You want to be able to support yourself and a family comfortably
  • If you have a mechanical engineering degree, you are expected to earn $35,000 more than a typical high school graduate
  • Research shows that there is a positive correlation to going to college
  • There is more financial aid than people realize




Con - Rachel 

  • Not every bachelor's degree is a smart investment
  • For the arts, it might be better to just get into the profession rather than go to college
  • If you have a STEM job with a high school diploma, then you are likely to make more money than someone with a bachelor's degree in the humanities, arts, and education
  • Financial aid process needs improvement, because it is not easy for poor families to know about programs and receive financial aid
  • College is only a wise decision if you make wise decision throughout college
