Wrong Reasons for Going to College

A college education can be priceless. _____【1】____ If any of these following factors had a big influence on your decision, you’re probably right to second-guess yourself.

◆Because someone else expects it from you.

Perhaps you come from a family where everyone goes to college. Or maybe, you’re the kid that everyone is proud to believe will be the first to get there. ___【2】_____. It’s become so much a part of the air you breathe that you’ve never stopped to consider whether you want to go or whether you’re ready to go.

In only a few weeks’ time, the whole friend group will be scattered to a half dozen different colleges in a half dozen different places. _____【3】____Friends would wonder what’s wrong with you. Some would take it as a betrayal of the dreams you’ve dreamed together and the plans you’ve made.

◆____【4】_____

It’s been tough to find even a summer job. You don’t have an alternative plan. Everyone else is doing it (see above). You think you might as well go to school. That is the lamest of reasons to spend $20,000 or more in the next year.

◆Because you are afraid you’ll regret it if you don’t go.
