THE EDUCATION

My generation has been fairly lucky when it comes to higher education. Back in the day, way back in the day, college was a thing fro preppy boys going to Harvard and Yale. Finishing schools were designed for the perfecting of women. You could find a women's college here and there (SVU, for example). College wasn't a "necessity"  for women or men. Even my own mother didn't go to college. I know she loves the life that she has, but I think she regrets not getting a higher education. My dad only has an associates degree and I think he also wishes he had more. Now-a-days college is pretty much an expectation. People will say that you don't have to go, but they mean that it's best if you do and you should and people will judge you if you don't. Some people are successful without it, but not many. I suppose we need to know ourselves and know if it's worth it to invest in ourselves.
