Should we go to college? (micro blog)

Before we answer this. Let us first answer-why do we go to college?

To gain knowledge, exposure, degree.

So firstly let’s talk about knowledge. Don’t you think the internet has far more amount of knowledge than any of your syllabus books. The problem here is most don’t know where to find the right knowledge on the internet cuz it’s so vast. I believe it would be better if we spend our time learning where to find information on the internet than to go to a place to listen to the very same people everyday.

Now exposure, I have seen that most high schoolers actually don’t know how to get exposure for their ownself, so they depend on college to do this for them. This I think colleges can handle a lot better than any individual.

Lastly degree (validation), the most important document in a student’s life. If I had an option I would simply buy a degree (tell me if you know someone). This is something only a college (or a dealer) can give you.

So these were the 3 main things for which one goes to college.

But the money, time, energy requirements of going to a college don’t do justice to what it has to offer.

If you ask me that would I like to go to a place where there are 1000s like me who are all being processed the same way to be converted to the same output.

Then I’m sorry I’m out.
