Is it Worth It?

Getting a college degree is necessary and worth the time for economic and social success because it means that you are able to sustain a stable and healthy life. I think it will be helpful to get a degree that will benefit you in life. It is important to have a degree because people will take you seriously and the people that you are around will influence you in a positive way because of where you stand in your social circle. Economically, you will be able to support yourself and a child (hopefully) because of your degree and steady job.

I think that we are given more opportunities by living in the US compared to Israel maybe. In Israel, students have to join the army when they turn 16 and serve at least 3 years. In the US, we get to choose whether we want to join the army or not. Although we both have the option of higher education, or college, we get to start earlier which means we have more time to decide what we are going to do with our lives.
