I go because my parents heavily emphasized it. Throughout my childhood, my parents and grandparents all encouraged me to do well in school so that I could go to college and live as comfortably they have provided me. They also stated that education is the one way to NOT live in a hell hole of a town and to not be living pay check to pay check like a lot of people in my city do.
Because I've been in college, I also learned through an internship that pretty much all places hiring now require at least some decent college degree in order to even be considered for the job, even entry level.
I've always loved learning and now I've even found a field that I could really see myself doing for 30 years. I've networked with hundreds of people who I would know to be friends in the future. The experience is amazing. But it's down to the wire now and I'm focusing hardcore to get prepared for the life after college.
