Why School is So Useful

School is important and everyone needs some sort of it. Whether it's high school or college they are very important. Students learn many skills over the course of their education years. Mathematics, literature, history, science, other classes that are also important for you to expand your mind. Without further to go, we'll see why school is so useful.

There are much more that I can't include them all on this list! This further proves that top schools produce top people and top people have performed best in their classes. This proves that school is useful and your education reflects your knowledge.

Top Billionaires Have College Degrees

Forbes found that 84% of the richest 400 Americans hold a bachelor's degree or higher.

That's a high percentage of billionaires with college degrees and especially them attending prestigious colleges!

Degrees have allowed highly successful people to start their own business and make a positive impact to the world!

Networking

If you're looking to meet top minds in this world, college is the way to go. You can pretty much start a business along with your college friends while attending college.

This is where you are able to meet top minds with top students learning top skills or teachers who are there to mentor you. It's a top place for networking and you should take full advantage of it while you're in school. Try to get as many contacts as you can and achieve great success with your classmates.

Easier To Learn In Class

It is much easier to learn in class with students and teachers there to help you, but it's much harder to learn online all by yourself and your only friend being google. It will be frustrating to self educate yourself on your major. That's why it's best to go to college and earn a degree.

We see this today as classes taken online are harder for students to learn. Imagine having to learn with no teacher online. This will be very hard and it is definitely recommended that you go to college!

Financial Help

I bet people have scared you in person and online about having to pay off student debt and that it's way too much to handle.

Colleges help a lot with the cost of attending. Let's use Harvard as an example. Before aid the cost is $73,800, after aid it's $15,560! That's a $58,000 discount for students yearly. On top of that Harvard students earn one of the highest salaries out of all students in the world. So you can expect to pay off your debt in a year or less if you manage your money well!

Every college helps with financial aid so do your own research and see how much your college helps you!

Conclusion

Going to college is very useful and will help you a lot in the long run. College students on average have a more happy life than high school graduates. Choose what's best for you, but don't count out college. Also, don't listen to those stupid posts online that say school is a scam. It's not a scam and it will be here forever.
