Not everyone has to go to college

A year ago I wrote this piece of writing which I believe that not everyone has to get college degree to complete their education career. If one is smart enough s/he will earn the bread even better than one who did college degree. Getting higher education is just a wish that people want to achieve but it's okay not to have such. Not everyone has to go to college...

This is just my personal thoughts upon reflection of my own experience as a college student and the stories that I hear from my friends who did not attain college. 
Many friends have seen me as a successful person to have got to study in n full scholarship under a government college. Well that's sometime a proud thing to tell in my village Where people will wow me about it.  That's another part of the story. My friends who have dropped their schooling or couldn't continue after their high school have another stories. 
I agree that you my friends, will be sad at times when you do not get to go to college when you think of how much hard work you have put in your exams to excel.  How much sacrifice you have made for the sake of getting college and to enjoy college life.  Frankly speaking college life is not an easy task.
1. Firstly when you get college your parents will have the notion that you have to get a laptop or neccesary smart phone. You have to get a good looking and expensive gho or Kira. Moreover,  your daily expenses will increase as you would love to go for hiking, trekking, and relationships is one of the most important point I want to make.  You would obviously exchange gifts or whatever fancy things needed for your partner. Which is a great financial burden for your parents. 
2. Secondly, your academic achievement will not prosper like you did in your school days because of the famous saying "it's college time dude.. Let's have some fun! " and that's why many of the college students have back paper and fails the semester because they fail not in paper but in attendance.  Many will never managed to touch the books until the last minute because no one is going to bother about your studies or homework.. So many people in the college just survive the course instead of getting a good marks.
3.  Graduates have lost its educational value.  If it has the value why people who graduated opt for the vacancy of class 12. And why graduate have the highest unemployment rate? It's high time to think that not everyone has to go to college.
4. Think yourself if all the people becomes the doctors who are going to be the patient.  A cliche that reminds us that not everyone is design to be the same. That's why our education system has fail to provide us the wholesome education. When students in the schools are taught to pass in the exam or score good grade. Out is time to think that we are learning not for life but for exam
So friends those who opted for vocational training has done really a great choice.  And those who just finished class 12 and have no clue what to do with your life, I would say you have the bonus of 3 extra years and you are going to have the extra 3 years of experience.  Extra 3 years to decide and plan about your life.
Good luck friends
