text: is college worth it? while the cost of a college education sky rockets, the value of a bachelors degree is in decline.  i like going, but i'm not sure if it's worth the outrageous cost, which i am footing without parental aid.  those older than i insist that college is worth it, but i'm not sure they fully appreciate the gloomy socioeconomical climate that awaits me when i've spend all of my money on tuition, and still can't get a job in my field.  i have about 66 credits so far.  your opinion, please. i would have to say that education is something your going to do through out your entire life. i'm only 36 and and have worked in mfg. for the last 10 years. like others in my prefession i've been going back to collage in order to get a more diverse education.   yes, but i would suggest you find something you enjoy doing every day. most people go to college so they can get a high paying job only to find themselves misserable with what they are doing. then they let them selves be trapped by their lifestyle and are now deperessed because they feel stuck at what they are doing so they can maintain the lifestyle.  find your nich. while in college find out what you really enjoy. what classes are fun and exciting. what gives you enough excitement ot get out of bed each day. then make some goals. then have fun making your goals come true.   read thebook: the magic of thinking big by pealy (i think) good book.
