“Reasons for College or University Education”

People attend college or university for many different reasons (for example, new experiences, career preparation, and increased knowledge). Why do you think people attend college or university? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
--------------------------------

I don’t think people attend colleges primarily for new experience. I do agree that people attend college for acquiring higher qualification and knowledge. New experiences however automatically follow.

World is dramatically developing and changing day and on. In this fast changing scenario, one must continuously learn and educate himself to keep pace with the time and be the Fittest. Because survival is for the Fittest and one who can not keep pace with the time cannot survive. For this reason one has to have high qualification and knowledge by attending college and universities. Schools can impart education only up to school level but acquire higher qualification one has to attend college.

Everywhere professional qualification is most necessary now. Be it doctor, engineer, pilot, business manager, lawyer, astronaut, builder unless one is adequately qualified he or she can’t be employed for that job hence college education is necessary.

Computerization is so fast improving that one must keep up-to-date information of the latest development and products. Now Air Booking, Rail Booking, Shopping, Banking and all businesses are available on line. One can perform all those operations at his desktop and laptop if one has acquired necessary qualification through college education.

We are in the era of technology and automation. We are passing through very tough competition in all walks of life. Survival is for the fittest and one who is unfit is simply thrown out and has no survival. Hence none can afford the luxury of not attending college and university for acquiring qualification and knowledge.

To conclude, College education is fundamentally meant for acquiring higher academic, technical qualifications and knowledge.
