Advantages... -a chance for higher salaries -be around all types of people (opens your mind to new things) -increase your career and future opportunities -gain much more knowledge -greater sense of responsibilities -enjoy your young adult life Disadvantages: -does not guarantee success -costs too much I think college is a good way to really learn about yourself and to learn about other people. But the career opportunities is up to you, if you intern or study abroad, you have a greater chance at getting a great job upon graduation. I think it's a good opportunity, but go with your heart. I thought college was worth it, even though Im doing something totally different than what I graduated in.
