College Expectations

Some folks hope going to college will help them get a better job down the road.  For others, it's all about the "college experience" (however they define that).  Some people want to continue learning all they can in a school environment, and for many, it's a combo of these things.

If you're planning to go to college, what do you hope to get out of it?  And if you're not planning to go, please tell us your reason(s) why.

    I want to learn skills that I'll actually use. I don't want to waste half of my education on something I won't use in the future.

    • collin

      yes that it exzactly

      April 5, 2013 at 9:24 am |
      • Rylee

        Thank you collin. 🙂 But really, what's the point of an education if you aren't gonna use what you use?

        April 5, 2013 at 5:35 pm |
    • Ender

      I expect an education that'll get me through life and help the community.

      What about skills later in life you don't need but would have liked to have?

      April 8, 2013 at 12:36 pm |
    • Hanako

      Yeah, but we never know exactly what our future will bring. What we learn at college might not be useful for the first decade but may come in handy later on in life and vice versa.

    Okay there is certain limits to getting your team to work harder! Thats going to far. I dont think he needed to get fired! i think a suspension was enough of a punishment-

    I think that is to much for a coach to do because what happens when they get hurt.Every coach has their own way of coaching with some its yelling, others it's praying but throwing basketballs at them is not right.

  9. Thinh

    As an international student, learning in the US is tough and it costs a lot. For this reason, I want to learn comprehensively and holistically at school as well as gain certain skills in life. I hope my money will be paid off.

    April 4, 2013 at 8:49 pm |
  10. Arturo

    When I go to college I don't want all the years I've been in school to be for a waste. I want to use them in a job that I'll love. Also for me learning is always fun and interesting. I've always found it fun learning cool facts...Been interested in things other students wouldn't be.

    April 4, 2013 at 9:44 pm |
  11. Anusha

    I wonder what my experience will be like with the professors piling on work. There are many stories you hear nowadays about kids who don't even sleep anymore because of work. I wonder what my experience will be like and if I could make a change to that. Colleges should learn that it's not all about work, it's what you get out of it.

    April 4, 2013 at 11:29 pm |
  12. Kayla

    I hope that when I go to college, there will be many fun classes to take such as music because it is good to listen to people play instruments. I play the piano. MUSIC ROCKS!

  13. Raj

    When I engage in my middle and high school curriculum, I want to be prepared for basic real world necessities. When I go to college, I hope to get out specific skills that will be needed for for my own life and profession.

    April 5, 2013 at 12:51 am |
    • Maddie

      I like the way you think, Raj.

    I want to get a mentality of trying to find out the truth. There isn't only one answer in our real world, so you must keep thinking, and enlarging and connecting ideas within you.

  15. Hudson

    I would go to college probably to go to a military academy like ATM and be a cadet hoping to join the military. But I would also plan on getting a masters deggree in buisness in hope that i would be the CEO or Director of my family buisness.

    April 5, 2013 at 7:19 am |
  16. Connor

    When I go to college, I want to learn all that I can, for all that I prepare for. I want to either become a writing teacher, or a doctor. And I don't need to learn every little thing to become a writing teacher.

  21. Jenna

    I want to learn the skills that I would need to get the career I want, I wouldn’t want to go to college and do loads of work that I would never use in my career, that would be pointless because it wouldn’t get me anywhere.

    April 5, 2013 at 9:59 am |
  22. Desiree

  29. Alexis

    I am planning to go to college and my reasons for this are because I want to be a psychiatrist and I need a special doctor’s degree for this and college would help me achieve that. Also the college experience of meeting new people and finding people with interests in the same field of jobs would be extremely fun.

    April 5, 2013 at 10:05 am |

  36. Louis

    I dont want to go to college just to get a job or because thats what one must do to get along in life. No, i want to go to college to become more wise and maybe even get a Ph.D. and with my education i want to make the world a better place, to go above and beyond all expectations. I am very excited about all the knew experiences and opportunities to learn and excel. As i get older and when sometime beyond college, life will in all likeliness become rather difficult with the many trials of the real world, but i think college will help me to cope with those challenges, to become stronger and ready for anything. Life is not long and I want to use the time i have to its fullest, to be the best i can be, and even succeed in everything i do.

    April 5, 2013 at 10:55 am |
    • Emma

      I don't think I could have said it any better myself. College is a place that helps you get better at what you want to do. Lois, if you work really hard, I have a feeling you will get that Ph. D. Good luck and "Happy college!"

    I want to go to college and learn more about what I want to be when I get older. Also I want to learn more about the real world. And how to “fit in” in it. I want to go to college and do something with music. I am a “Band Nerd” so they say. But oh well music is my life and I want to go somewhere with it.

    April 5, 2013 at 11:55 am |
    • Emma

      Jess, never be wanting to "fit in." I don't know if you are a christian or not, but I am, and I say that if you accept Jesus into your heart, your life will be amazing. If you want to do music and that is your passion, then do it. If you like doing something, that is just the more likely you will succeed!

    I want to learn things that I may actually use in the 'real world'. Because, let's face it, most of us are probably not going to find a job sitting in a chair with a bunch of other people while we are lectured to. Educational field trips are needed to accomplish this, of course. We need to learn how to handle ourselves, our jobs, others, finances, and more in reality, and we just can't do that in a classroom.

I want this job because I want to help the helpless and be the voice to the voiceless. I want this because a lot of people helped me when I didn't have a voice of my own. I want to give back.

    I think that going to college is one of the last phases to preparing for life as a full adult. People go to specific colleges and get majors in what is interesting to them. If a topic is interesting enough for someone to spend a large amount of time and money learning about it, they will probably be interested in it for the rest of their lives. College is essentially training for the next generation's work force. I believe it is important that colleges have courses that are directly translatable to jobs, because people who know what they're doing should be given the chance to do it.

  163. Priscilla

    I want to go to college so I can own a coffee shop- my longest standing dream of a future career, and also one where I would be able to get to know people, and introduce them to Christ. However, I don't know if the price of college is worth it. I want to do my best not to go into debt, but if the economy doesn't get better, I may have to. I guess all we can do is pray that God help our economy, and handle our futures.

    April 6, 2013 at 1:57 pm |
    • Priscilla

      Sorry, that sounded bad. It was the dream job, not the introducing people to Christ, that might not be worth it.

        It certainly would be. The bible says in Mathew 28:19:"Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."

    I don't plan to go to college because my family is poor and I don't want them to think that I want t go to college, because they'll feel bad and make me go to college. Since college is so expensive, it'll take up all our money. And I won't even be there to help. Though, I secretly want to go to college. 🙂

      While money is an issue, there is a lot of financial aid available if you really want to go to college. I will be attending college next year with almost all of my education being paid for in financial aid. FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), is a great way to get student aid. Also, colleges can be very helpful in helping with college costs through scholarships, work-study, and discounted costs. I hope that if you really want to go to college, that it will work out for you.

    What you should want from college: a good mix of practical and theoretical coursework, classes that make you think, learning that opens pathways to better jobs and a better life, meeting truly dedicated faculty and students in a great learning environment, opportunities to improve social skills, great life experiences that you will treasure for the rest of your life, opportunities to understand others, a chance to make mistakes in a controlled environment, a sense of serious accomplishment, the chance to find a career you love (not just a job),

    Most colleges teach us things we will not need in the future. Although it may be helpful I honestly wouldn't want to waste half my education on things that will be no help to me in the future.

    I think that college expenses need to be lower because everyone not rich you know so, I think that people need to consider not just themselves when planning to pay for college.

    I expect to go to college. I want to get a great job when i get older. If i didn't go i probably wouldn't be able to become what i want like an artist or Marine Biologist. You have a worse chance of not getting a good job if you don't go through college.

    I mainly want to go to collage so I can get a better understanding of animating and music video making, so that I can do more stuff. I plan on having a small band in the future, and I want to know how to make the music videos, and how to have the interactions with fans who want to make cameos in various animations that I would do to help promote the band, and add more understanding to some of our songs.

    I want to go to college to help my understanding of the human body, and to improve my abilities in art. Because I want to be a tattoo artist I don’t need to attend any schooling after I graduate high school because I will be apprenticed instead of going on with school. But, because I will be basically be injecting ink into clients body’s with a needle into form a picture, I believe to improve myself as a body artist I must understand fully what I’m tattooing and how to do the best possible job.

    I want to go to college because most jobs require you to have some sort of degree, and the more college time the better. Also going to college would allow me to meet new people while learning about criminal justice.

    College would help me be ready for the real world. A lot of jobs require a college education. That is why people are unployed, the don't have the right education. I really want a good paying job!

Two, it mainly involves science which is my two favorite subjects. (The other one is math.) Three, I would like to work with kids.

    Going to college for me is to recive a degree that society demands for citizens to get a decnt paying job. Education is extremely important in our society as a whole and I do believe having a higher education than a High School edgree is importnant. Also, the "college experience" is an awesome factor that comes along with creating a higher education for yourself... Not to mention being merged with so many different people of different walks of life. College makes people change. It shows people that the world is so broad, interesting and important. The "college experience" is basically a way of life....a lifestyle.

    I want to go to college so I can be a veterinarian and in order to be that, you must go to college. I would also think it would be fun living without parents for the first time and having the whole 'college experience'.

    April 9, 2013 at 2:16 pm |
  247. Hannah

    I want to go to collage. I can get a better paying job and i really want to play sports, and a degree would get me a head start if I can't make it into sports world! A lot of jobs require a college education and without that I could be homeless. College can be the matter of having a home or apartment, or just homeless your whole life.

    My goals and dreams in life are to work in culinary arts. I love watching TV shows that relate to it, such as Cake Boss! (This is my favorite!)I think I would work well in the pastry part of it because I’m good with details and I can be very creative. I also know that there are plenty of colleges that offer that major here in Kentucky. And as for right now, I am considering going Sullivan University. Another reason why I would like working in culinary arts is simply just because of the food. I love food! I like all kinds of different types of food and would love to learn how to make it. If you are creative, like food, like decorating food, and like making food, then culinary arts might be the career for you!

If it does require you to go to college, I want to go to Northern Kentucky University.

    I would like to go to college to ensure that if anything goes wrong later on in life , I will always have a degree to fall back on. Also, collage shows independence and is the first step into a "sheltered" adulthood. You are not fully exposed to the world, but you are able to do as you wish with someplace to come back to. Education is also a vital part of life. Without having any specialized skills or knowledge, it is practically impossible to be able to get a well-paying and satisfying job.

    I wanna go to college because the environment there is really great for me in particular and for young people in general. I not only get a good education with advanced knowledge but also learn a lot of skills which are very useful for my life and getting a good job. Moreover, I could make accquaitance with a lot of ideal friends whom I get along very well and maybe I could find my missing piece for my life right in the college :">
