What does college mean to you?

If you think all that college means is that it's an investment, trade schools are for you. Many, many of my fellow students at a small liberal arts college did not need a high ROI. They had family money that allowed them to work for non-profits and certain government jobs. They will not bolster simple earnings charts. If you are a good dissertationwriter student, financial aid is readily available. No need for huge student loans. Lesser students end up with huge debt. The average student debt is less than the new car they bought just out of college.
