List some good reasons to goto University
Alright, If all goes to plan I will begin at University in February of next year. Yep, I'll be studying fitness & nutrition. At first a friend of mine was scheduled to start aswell on the same course as he has basically the same intrests as me. But then yesterday he called me up, said he spoke to his mom and dad and decided against the whole idea. According to his parents, they were worried about the debt he would get, also they wanted to see how the economy would change. Thing is we both live in a small little town in Sweden with about 30,000 people. The University we were planning to goto is located in London, pretty damn cool if you ask me. Swap a little small run down town and move to one of the biggest cities in the world! . BTW im english, So the language is going to be no problems, im 18yrs old, wanna make something of my life.
Im trying to change his mind as I know he really wants to be involved in the fitness business!

You pay the debt off eventually when you are working.
A lot of courses have job offers at the end of them.
Why work for the rest of your life on decent money, when you can study for a few years and earn maybe double that ?

I have seen this poster in many places that says something like, those who attend university make $1 million more than those who don't attend, during their lifetime ( on average).
Other than that, I agree with the person who said McDonalds. You don't wanna be working there when you are 40.

not true.
It's not necessary to go to college if you go to trade school. If you become a professional in a trade (plumbing, electric, HVAC, etc) you can make ALOT of money.

Just because you go to college doesn't mean you're going to make alot of money, have a great job, and drive an expensive car.
In most cases a college degree doesn't mean as much as people think it does. It's your education after college (masters, doctorate) that will make you alot of money.

Did you know certain call centres in India (Mainly UK companies) only employ people with degrees, a degree to work in a call centre and still they are only paid £1k/year

If you can't figure out why you should go to college/uni, you're probably best off not going.
LOL, I even made myself laugh with this one, but it's very true.
