College

As a young adult going to school is all I know. I've always gone to school and at times feel like I will be in school for the rest of my life. Although I work a minimum wage job now while attending school I feel like this is my life. From the age of sixteen I've always had a part time or full time job and attended school full time. I know the real reasons I should stay in school and benefits it will have after I finish but at times wish there was a lope hole.

I know after I finish college it will be easier to get a higher paying job rather than work for minimum wage job where there is about 50 million bosses before I get to the top. Then there is always that barricaded blocking me from the top because I don't have a college degree and they rather hire someone from outside because they feel that there expertise will benefit the company better than a person who has been there for tens of years. Don't get me wrong I do see where they may be going with this whole bringing in new ideas thing but I don' think its fair to the people inside the company.

I remember in health class the teacher saying that to maintain a healthy life style we must always keep learning something. I guess this could be my way of keeping my mind active and always learning something. But what will happen after I graduate college and I find a job but all the skills I've been taught in my four years are useless? What if college is a wast?
