Is college the best choice for you?

Going to college provides plenty of benefits for some people. For high school students, it might seem like the logical next step after graduation. For older adults, going back to school might sound like the perfect way to advance in your career—or to start over in a totally new career. But a college degree is not a one-size-fits-all solution for success in life. Sure, a college degree can open some doors, but not everyone needs a degree to have their dream career. And the truth is, it’s hard work, connections and relationships—not a piece of paper—that keep doors open.
