Why did you decide to go to college?

Personally, it was a lack of options and a lack of decision making. Unless you know exactly what you're trying to do in life or you're trying to become a skilled tradesman like an electrician or a plumber, the only real other options I saw were working whatever minimum wage jobs you could find in hopes of eventually moving up through your work/job history or joining the military. By comparison, drifting through 4 more years of education with the possibility of a decent paying job that doesn't suck at the end of the road seems like a pretty good deal; especially if you're not the one footing the bill for your education.
