College is extremely tough regardless of your major. You constantly feel as if there is a mountain on your back because of all the stress. There are 15 hours of classes, 15 hours of homework, disgusting amounts of stress, and the guilt from how much debt you're in. Not to mention the jobs you'll need to work while at school to stay afloat. All of this crazy pressure to potentially get a job? I constantly wonder if all of this crap is even worth it. I constantly worry about my grades and constantly worry if there will be a job for me after all of this.
I will start applying for jobs soon and I am constantly worried that there will be nothing for me. This may just be me overthinking things, but it's a legit concern that college students face. The degrees we receive need to pay off when we get jobs, and for some people, that doesn't happen. There are thousands of college student graduates who couldn't get a job in their field of study. They dug themselves in $100,000 dollars of debt and have no job to say for it. Personally, I know a few people who have recently graduated and are stuck in low-level jobs because they can't find anything right for them.
Why do we go into an immense amount of debt for the chance of not even having a job in our field of study? Sometimes I wonder if going to school is even worth it. All of this stress and financial struggle for the rest of our natural born lives, simply just for the chance to make it big in our chosen field. We, as students, sign our lives away when we received our student loans just to get a degree. We, as students, will pay off these last four years, for the rest of our lives. Now that I will be graduating in the spring, I wonder how the rest of my life will follow.
The stresses of college are hard to put into words. I wake up and go to bed anxious. I constantly worry, maybe every minute about my grades and how much homework and papers I am given. Not to mention, some of these "professors" treat you with complete and utter disrespect. I've had countless professors sass me because I missed a class, or because I poorly phrased something in a paper. Forgive me professor, but I have a disgusting amount of stressors on my plate. The absolute last thing I need is for a professor to disrespect me when I try my hardest.
Ever since I was a kid, I knew I was going to go away to college. I knew that I wanted to make it big, and ultimately, make something of myself. But now that I'm almost there, and now that I'm one step closer to graduation, I sometimes wonder, was it worth it?
