College Reflection Essay
I had a an interview with two people. I had an interview with my fellow friend’s mother, Lazaria Foreman and my father, Mitchell Burgess. I asked both adults on their decisions on whether they went to college or not. My questions were very specific on experiences of college and not being able to attend college. One main question that I asked, which sums up this essay is “ Were you successful, life after highschool or college?” and both answers were yes.
A lot of people goes to college to make a reasonable salary or to get a higher position for a job they applied for. People go to college to make a better …show more content…
A college degree is needed in modern time. In article “ Graduates’ Pay Is Slipping but Still Outpaces others,” by Tyler Cowen, he says “ Thirty years ago, college graduates made 40 percent more than high school graduates, but now the gap is about 83 percent.” This quote shows that college students became more successful than people who did not go to college. I feel as though even if you go to college for better education and higher position, this quote is a little bit of an under statement. My father was a high school graduate who didn't not further his education by going to college. I asked Mr. Burgess what was his reasoning for not going to college and was he successful life after high school. He said “ i didn't go to college. I wanted to go straight work. And my life after high school, I became very successful. Then I proceeded to ask him why he did he not feel like he was ready for college, and if he could go back to finishing high school would he have went to college or did anything differently. He also spoke and said “ I never had the intentions of going to college. Yea I would have went if i had to go back in time. And the last thing I asked him is if he regret not going. And his finally response was “ No, i don't not regret my decision because I became a very intelligent successful supervising manager technician. And also people that had a college degree has to follow my directions because i am their boss.” One can clearly see that people who didn't even go to college has came across the same success as people for went to college. Sometimes it shows that a high school graduate can even be more successful than the person with “more experience”. But just because you're just a high school graduates doesn't mean you might be as lucky as the person who never went to college. In order for a fireman to become a fire
