1.  All extra education you get after high school, improves the chances that you’ll earn good pay in your life.  As it happens, most college graduates earn a significantly higher amount of money than those who don’t go to college.  If you are not certain what career to pursue, just jump in to one and keep reading and thinking about what you want to do.

2.  Education beyond high school gives you a lot of other benefits. There is so much maturity that occurs when in college.  You may also meet lifelong friends and maybe even your spouse in college.  You will also have many more "new" opportunities to explore that you would not have if you did not attend. I am very proud of my degree from VA Tech.  I also have a lifelong kinship with those who  have graduated from VA Tech.

3.  Having a college degree will make it much more likely that you will always have a job.  There are some studies that that say by 2028 there will be 19 million more jobs than there are educated people to take them.

4.  Education after high school is more important for this generation than any before.  Technological advances have caused many jobs to require a college diploma.  Most businesses want to hire someone with a proven history of solving problems.  You learn how to solve problems in college.

I hope if you needed encouragement , you got some.

College is not the key to happiness, by any means.  College is a key, though.  It is likely a way to equip yourself for some success.  It gives you a good start.  Learning must be a lifelong thing, though. 

I have continued to learn and am learning right now about monetizing websites.   See my other websites if you are interested in buying an airplane or want to read news about healthy skin.
