Attitudes like this are the problem with your country.
Maybe people will want to go to college to...Uh I don't know....get an education....better themselves....gain more knowledge....LEARN TO DO THINGS...be able to contribute to society...etc...etc
Maybe if your greed filled minds weren't so obsessed with 'Money' and 'Wealth', and thought more about Life, love and peace, your country (and therefore the world, by proxy) wouldn't be in the shit heap we're all in right now.
it's fucked up that you see 'bettering your life' and 'making more money' as the same thing.
Maybe instead of setting your life goal as being 'make lots of money', it should be to 'be happy', 'keep food in your belly', 'raise healthy offspring', 'find someone to love', 'make friends'........ All of these things have REAL value (unlike a useless peice of green paper, or even worse an electronic record of said peice of paper)
