Why do people go to college?

<p>I haven’t really gotten a valid, objective answer from anyone. And it’s funny, because when I ask this question in real life, they get really defensive and it’s like they are scrambling for an answer.</p>

<p>“To expand your horizons”
“Follow your dreams”
“A college degree is required in today’s competitive market”
“A college degree is one of the best investments you can make”</p>

<p>It’s absolutely sick. I want to discuss it rationally, I am not asking for a car commercial.</p>
