Money Isn't Everything

It's so sad that people feel the need to go to uni so they are able to get a good traditional well paid job such as being a lawyer or doctor not just because they want to have a successful career but because they want a job that will earn them lots of money. Many people think that with having a well paid job all their problems will disappear especially in the economy we are in today when if you don't have a certain amount of money things such as buying a house or having children and able to provide for them becomes a struggle. However you shouldn't feel the need by your parents or society to go to uni and get a well paid job if that is not what you want. What is wrong with getting a regular job and getting higher on the ladder through experience and being able to say you have done regular jobs such as cleaning, being a waitress or retail work. Or even just sticking at those kinds of jobs if that's what makes you happy. Yes you might not have the money for a fancy apartment or a brand new car but would it really be worth it if you were forced into something you didn't want to do? Would you be proud of yourself for doing something because of society or your parents and not for you? Would that really be worth a new apartment and a swanky new car? I don't think so.

So if you are one of those people who just want to go to Uni because your friends are going or it looks like a laugh and you don't have much interest in further education or just want a job that will earn you a lot, don't, don't do it because would that really be worth the loan and the hard work at Uni. Only go to Uni if you know full well that is what you want to do and no one else is forcing you.


I hate the fact that when you're at school or college when people ask you what you want to do after Uni or education they expect something extra ambitious and if you just said anything really or I don't know they would frown upon you because you haven't suddenly got your life planned making loads of money. Never rush into something you might not even want. There is more to life than money and careers.
