College or Work?

The Pew Research Center surveyed parents about College. This isn't an uncommon subject, our whole lives going to a good college or university is our goal. 94% of parents expect for their children to attend college. 94 out of 100 people plan on their children to attend college. That is a high number. 77% say that college is necessary for a woman to get ahead in life, 68% say the same for males. Our parents put a high value on college and school, but they put a higher value somewhere else. Character Traits. A good work ethic is extremely or very important, that's what 96% of people say. Not only a good work ethic but being able to get along with people is 93% and 90% of those people say the same about skills learned on the job. Let's remember that 96% say work ethic, only 77% say college is very important. Your work ethic is more important than college. Without surprise, over half of they people surveyed prefer to work and earn income than sit in a class room, 57% is over half right? A little less than half, 48%, can't afford college because the price is rising. 34 out of 100 people decided they didn't need more education. 5% did not continue education because they weren't received into the school of choice.
