Blog Post 4 College is Enough

    What is college? College is a placewheee you get a degree and build social bonds that help to get yourself a job. http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/12/14/what-is-college-for/ When asked is college enough, I believe that college is enough if you build bonds while in college, go into the right field of study, and look for potential jobs as you study.
      To begin, college can be enough to find a career if you build social bonds with people that are influential in your area of study. If you build friendships this way, they can help you get into the field and find a job more easily then having to apply and convince an employer that you are good enough with no references.
      Secondly, college can be enough if you go into the right area of study. Some fields are very hard to find a job in without references. Music education is a hard job to find a job in. Some graduates take years to find teaching jobs, while others that know people find jobs more quickly. If you don't know anyone to help you find a job then you should go into a field that is in high demand of your degree. Nursing is in high demand so you really don't have to know people in order to find a job; therefore, a college degree isn't enough because you have to build relationships with people working in your field while in college. http://www.financiallypoor.com/guest-post/why-your-college-degree-is-not-enough/
        Finally, college can be enough if you look for potential jobs as you study. If you plan to be a nurse or lawyer, try to find a part time job working at a desk at a doctors office or lawyers office. This way you can build bonds and establish work ethic. Once you have graduated it won't be as hard to find a job because your name will have already been established.
        In Conclusion, college can be enough if you take the appropriate steps while you are in college. If you build friendships and bonds with important people, go into a high demand job field, and look for potential jobs as you study then college is enough.

     When asked what college is good for it is obvious that college is good for many things, but the three that are most important are getting a job, acquiring an education, and making social bonds that last a lifetime.
      First, college offers the opportunity to find a career that suits the individual. Jobs are hard to find in today's society without an education. There are many great jobs available to those who have an education. Those who do not are subject to working at low paying jobs where the individual will be unhappy with themselves. http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2010/04/05/the-case-for-a-useless-degree.html
       Second, college offers the chance to not only get a job but get an education. An education is sometimes taken for granted. Some material learned in school often times feels useless to the student; however, usually in life it is found that everything learned is sacred  because all information becomes useful at some point in our life. Those with an education are always the more powerful people, and those without an education are often times taken advantage of.
       Finally, college gives people an opportunity to make bonds that last a lifetime. Friendships make an individual feel better about themselves. Friendships also help people get jobs and get into social organizations. If you have an education but no social bonds then it may be harder for you to get a desired position. It is very self explanatory as to why social bonds can help an individual, and therefore makes making friends in college very useful.
      In conclusion, college is good for finding a job, acquiring an education, and making social bonds that last a lifetime and help you find jobs.
