Why go to universit6

Why go to university?
There are many advantages to a college or university education. Some
students attend college or university for acquiring both general and specific
knowledge, some for preparing a chosen career and some for developing
independence and exploring new experiences. All of these are valuable
goals to achieve,but it is my belief that most students view higher
education as a wonderful tool in career preparation.
With the rapid development of new technology,we need much more
knowledge than before to start a career. In a competitive job market,thousands
of people are out of work and millions of people are searching for jobs
everyday. Therefore, a practical education which is relevant to their future
careers,are very important. Furthermore, higher education is a big investment
and so most students want to get all they can out of it.
Of course, college is a ideal place to get broad knowledge and new
experiences in many aspects such as the detailed teaching plan which we can
follow, the experienced professors from whom we can learn a lot,many
classmates who work with us and the most important one which is the plenty
of time to study. However, in today competitive world the pursuit of
increasing knowledge must be balanced with the pursuit of the more practical
goals.
The third president of the United States-Thomas Jefferson said: nowledge is
the power, that knowledge is safety, that knowledge is happiness. ?That is
why I think most students pursue higher education in order to prepare for their
future careers.
