It’s that time of year again were loads of people are going back to or starting college, I made the decision not to go back because I had enough of it. I got many opinions from different people whether they thought it was a good or bad idea to go back for the extra year I got mixed opinions. Some said it’s not a long year it will be over quickly its a better degree, others were saying cost wise I would not be able also the fact I don’t like going in didn’t help. I’m now starting to wonder if it was a good choice, down the line will I look back and think I should have gone back for that extra year. Personally I don’t think I would have managed another year I have four years done of college and I didn’t particular like it so why do a fifth year? Then on the other hand down the line my degree may not be as valuable as the add on degree. When looking for jobs to do with my college degree my classmates that did the extra year will have a higher quality degree than me so they would be more likely to be offered the job. I am gaining experience through work which I see as more useful than another year of college. Learning how to deal with customers, how different work places operate, putting into practice your knowledge to me these things are more beneficial. Time will tell if I did the right thing. Cost wise another year of college would break me I’m still trying to pay back money from my last year of college that is why getting a job of any sort straight after college was a priority for me. The fact I still don’t know what job I would like to get into is a major negative, I have to look into what I would like to work as and how I can use my degree otherwise what a waste of time, money and hard work. I’ve always envied the people who knew from secondary school what job they wanted to do because it makes things so much easier when you know. For now I am grateful that I have the job I have so I can slowly repay my expenses from college and eventually save a little bit of money. Down the line I will find something that I will enjoy doing which wont feel like a job until them I just have to keep looking and hopefully figure out where I want to do with my life. Anyone else in a similar position would like to hear some different views on it 🙂
