my degree was worth it

i’m so glad i went to college, long post bc i have so many feelings about it! my disclaimer is that i was really lucky to receive need-based and merit scholarships so despite my family‘s income it ended up not being a financial burden for me. i feel like getting my degree was worth it for a few reasons. the main reason is obvious: going to college really expanded my knowledge; i encountered so many different ideas and it cemented my love for learning. and unlike in high school, i had significant autonomy in choosing what i wanted to explore. besides important things like theory etc, i also was taught skills like using statistical software and academic writing. because of this, i learned my professional and academic interests, so i now have the option to go to grad school or pursue so many different jobs. i also did a few extracurriculars and had campus jobs, which i feel also contributed to my growth. work isn’t the end-all be-all, so the other important reason it was worth it are the personal benefits. college was really a perfect place for growth between high school and “adulthood”. it was a safer space to learn about myself and the world around me, independently but still in a supportive environment. also it was just really fun sometimes! in some ways it was much freer than life with a full-time job. i went to a liberal arts college—so i’m totally biased about that, but—i think it provides a far better education than non-liberal arts programs lol. it took me until my third semester to learn what i wanted to study and that wasn’t a setback at all; i still benefited from those courses and if i didn’t get to different explore subjects that first year, i would not have found my love for the fields i got my degree in. i think college should be about exploration and well-roundedness as much as it is about preparation for the future. and all this isn’t to say colleges are perfect; i have plenty of “ivy tower” criticisms and there were plenty of shitty things i experienced personally and academically bc life is just that way sometimes, but i think for me, the pros of attending still outweigh those cons. in the right place you can get a better idea of what you hope to do in your life, be equipped for that, and grow a lot of confidence in yourself, your dreams and your goals! :) overall it was very worth it and i don’t regret it.
