College is considered an essential step all students should take. However, considering its increasingly expensive price, going to college seems like a downfall rather than an acclivity to one's success. Most students have the common assumption that a college degree is the only gateway to the American middle class. However, many times, many college graduates do not find good jobs. Rather, they must settle for jobs that don't require four years of college. Therefore, an uncommon alternative is considered whether a four-year college curriculum is really mandatory. Considering the tremendous amount of money paid to study in colleges, is it really beneficial and worthwhile going to college or is college just a waste of money? Such questions has gotten people to reconsider the idealized need of going to college.
