I never really thought of college as an option in my life. My mom was very educated and through her, I valued the importance of being educated - in other words, going to college. Especially with the job security of today's society, it's very hard to get a decent, secure job without a college education. While the tuition has gone up to outrageous prices, college is still not the worst. With increasing competition, graduate schools are becoming more and more mandatory in having a decent job. Not to mention that graduate schools are generally more expensive than colleges.
So I think that the main purpose of attending college is for your future security. But I also value education. I think college, despite the price tag, offers tons of opportunities and freedom to explore and discover new things. I didn't know what I wanted to be in high school and if I were to be forced to find a job after graduating high school, I think I would be very lost, trying to figure everything out. College years can really build and change a person and during those four years, I think people find what they want to do in life. Otherwise called majors.
Since college is more or less mandatory, I think it would just be best to make the best of it.
