<p>Many of us went to college because it was the next step after HS & we wanted jobs that would not be available to us if we didn’t at least have a BA/BS. Some of us went on as well to get a graduate degree, also so we could get jobs we thought we’d enjoy & be paid a decent wage.</p>
<p>Many of us enjoyed our time in college, but of course experiences varied widely. My kids went to college for similar reasons.</p>
<p>I suspect many people went to college reasons similar to mine if they care to admit it.</p>
