Why People Attend College or University?There are many advantages to a college or university education. Students have ample　opportunity to explore a variety of interests, increase both their general and specific knowledge,　prepare for a chosen career and develop independence. All of these are valuable goals to achieve,　but it is my belief that most students today pursue higher education insgroupsto prepare for their　future careers.

　　In the past, only the rich and privileged had the opportunity to attend a university and their　goals were very different. Coming from wealthy families, few of them would have to compete for　a job after graduation, and most wished only to be considered well-educated. Today’s students are　more practical. They must be able to compete in a very competitive job market; therefore, apractical education is very important. Furthermore, higher education is a big investment and so　most students want to get all they can out of it. For these students, it is better to have clearly　defined career and education goals rather than to try and find themselves in college. Of course, all　students want to increase their knowledge, but I believe that most students today want thatknowledge to be relevant to their future careers.

　　The world has changed a great deal since universities were established. They　are still wonderful places for acquiring broad knowledge and for personal development.　However, in today’s competitive world these pursuits must be balanced with the pursuit of morespecific goals. That is why I think most students view higher education as a valuable tool in careerpreparation.
