Getting a college degree is definitely worth the money and effort. With out a college degree you are view as lazy or lower class. This is because most people without college degrees work long hour shifts on their feet a fast food restaurant or minimum wage job. So, in my opinion college is definityly worth it because it is temporary. However, living in misery is forever. I also, feel like the United States is doing a good job when it comes to opportunities after getting a education. This is because other countries such as china and mexico go to school for a longer amount of time and do not get the same benefits. China goes to school and still end up working a long shift, hard labor job. In mexico they get their associates in 4 years instead of 2, making people less likely to goon with their degree.
