"Is College Still Worth The Expense?"
College is very important to us because it is the stepping stone to achieve our goal in life. It helps us to improve our skills and learn more, and it helps us to maintain higher levels of social competence and academic levels. Education remains an important investment for the future. Having an advanced degree, it is likely that we are well trained and highly skilled in our chosen fields, which is very important. Without knowledge we won't be able to achieve our ambition in life.
At first, I thought college would be the easiest part in life but it wasn't. For many reasons the tuition rates nationally keep going up and more students than ever are wondering whether or not they have the money to attend a four-year university and whether it is worth the cost.

Is College Still Worth It?
Yours is a good essay on the importance of a college education. As college tuitions continue to rise, I suspect an increasing number of people will question whether college is worth the expense. Unfortunately, tuitions will rise more than the overall cost of living because higher education is labor intensive. Colleges compete for the best professors, some of whom are well compensated. I agree that college is still worth it for many people despite the rising costs, but would emphasize that many people can still have rewarding careers without pursuing a traditional four year degree.
