Why do we have to go to college?

In those days of some generations back in the history, going to go to college was not a so-called "common sense" for almost all the people in the world.

Then why do people these days seem to take it for granted, and are ready to pay the tuition fee for their children?

There are two main reasons there, it seemes.

The first one is the fact that we are living in the world in which all of us are required to have "up-to-date" and the newest information about the surrounding. So-called "life-long education" is the very key term to survive the world.

The second reason is another fact that we are living the age of " the specialist", which provides us with many opportunities to develop our sperical "skill" and expects to contribute to the society with that special skills and techniques

These two reasons are the main conditions for us to go to college or send our children there, even though it costs much.

The title of this essay is "why we have to go to college". We have to admit, too, that the longer our life expectancy becoms, the more we have to learn to live an enriched life.

We have to admit, though, one more important fact about the happiness of life. We can contribute to the socieaty we are living in with our personal skills and special techniques. But at the same time we have to say Yes to the idea that skills ane techniques are not the only one factors to make us happier.

What makes us happy, what provides us with love and charity, is not athe amout of information we recieve at college. On the contrary this kind of knowlege sometimes makes us miserable and unhappy.

We are living in such an age as we are supposed to have as much lates information as possible. Living happily and making people around us happier reqired us to have another kind of information about people, not about books.

This kind of information could only be obtained through the healthy, warm and fruitful human relationships.

We must bear in mind college education is not the only way to provide us this. If we know the truth about this basic principles to make us happy, then, college education would give us strong aid to support us through lifetime.
