Some people wonder if it is absolutly necessary to have a college degree when working in todays job market. I believe that having a college education is crucial. The economy has taken a decline in the past feew years and in effect to this the job market has also taken a turn for the worst. Jobs have become extremley difficult to obtain and highly competitive. Because companies a less likely to hire individuals that they are scared to become a liability; they are extremley cautious when hiring someone without some type of college education, especially when they can offer someone else who has earned a degree the same amount of pay.
My husband has not yet had the chance to enroll for college due to his previous education mishaps. The amount of grief we have had in the past trying to find him a job is unmentionable. The money hey was making at a golf course he was working at was unable to support our growing family. After a plethora of resumes he had sent out and interviews he had gone on his hopes started to die down. It seemed like nobody wanted to risk the chance of hiring someone that didnt have college credentials. We eventually found him a steady line of work, but even know the amount of money he makes isnt nearly as substantial as the money he would make had he earned a degree prior to applying for the company.
The fact of the matter is that college is imperative for a succesful lifestyle. A person doesnt necessarily need a college education to survive, but depending on the kind of future that person is seeking it might be in his or her best intrest to earn some type of college, even technical, credit. The line of work that a person with no college education obtains is very different from the type of job that a person with a degree can have. Usually jobs that accept less educated individuals, envolve strenuous labor, pay much less, do not offer any type of health insurance, have very demanding and non flexible schedules, and are much harder to advance in.
