     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.
