  • There are a number of reasons why students don't attend college but here's the reality that many will only begrudgingly admit: there are genuine obstacles---dire circumstances that prevent a student from continuing their education, and then there are excuses; knee-jerk responses that students regurgitate when questioned about their future. While it is easy to extend sympathy for those students with the most uncommon challenges, it is more difficult to identify with the students who allow a flimsy excuse to stand in the way of the golden gate. Below are some common excuses that high school students give and the reasons why they no longer hold water.
  • I can't afford itWelcome to the age of financial aid, community college, and work-study options. Many high school students today are aware that their parents cannot afford to foot their tuition bill. This is a common reality, but it doesn't mean that the students themselves can't afford college on their own. The combination of scholarship opportunities,federal aid, and flexible scheduling options make college a reality for students who are serious about obtaining a degree. Every year the number of high school students going on to college increases despite the fact the tuition also continues to rise. Seem strange? Not when you consider that financial aid of all varieties is more accessible than ever before and most students have realized that college is within reach.
  • I earn good money at my jobI'll just stay on full-time after college. Well, I can't help but ask, where do you work? Shoot me an application. The truth is that good money is hard to come by---even with a degree. In high school, the definition of what constitutes a fair paycheck is flexible because the bills haven't begun rolling in yet. Typically when students can afford to purchase three items from Abercrombie and Fitch they are by every teen standard 'rich.' Unfortunately many of these individuals don't realize until too late just how much it can take to make ends meet. Gas prices are higher than ever. Home ownership has more costs associated with it. Even groceries for one cost about $400 a month---a third of minimum wage earnings if you work every single day. And the better paying jobs? They require a college degree.
  • My grades aren't so greatThe beauty of community college is that your grades don't have to be great to get accepted. Community college is a second chance for students to shine. Not only is it affordable, but junior colleges typically offer the more alternative scheduling options. The classes are interesting. The instructors are reputable. The education is what you make of it. What's not to like?
  • I don't know what I want to do with my lifeThe truth is that most people---even those in their thirties and forties---don't feel as though they really know what they want to do with their life. Those with a college degree, however, can float around on their diploma and make some money while getting their dreams sorted out and finding their niche.

There are a lot of reasons why some people might not want to go to college. The big one is cost. College is pretty expensive and the better education you aim for the more money you have to pay (in most scenarios). A lot of people, even with financial aid, could not afford this type of education.

Why do people consider university as a higher rank of education when electricians get paid more than most university and they go to college?

There is so much wrong with the premise of the question that any possible answer would be wrong in some way. I don't know that the statement "people consider university as a higher rank of education" is true. In some places, a university is a group of semi-autonomous colleges. In other places, the two are essentially synonyms. "Electricians [...] go to college" is not true, either. Electricians may go to college, of course, if they want to. They might go to a university if they wanted to, also. They're not actually required to go to either.

Why do i have to go university if i want to become a soldier?

Depends on what kind of soldier you want to become. If you want to be in command, or become some sort of technical specialist, then university can be helpful. If you're content with being a grunt, then you don't need university. However, eventually you might want to leave the military. When you do that, a university degree might help you get a civilian job.
