Why People attend college ?

  After graduating from(从……毕业) high school（中学）,many young people have the option(选择权) to directly（立即、马上） enter the work force.Most students who have the opportunity,however,decide to go to college before finding jobs.They attend college to obtain more choices,higher salaries,and more opportunities for advancement in an increasingly competitive job market.

  Before attending college,students have a limited opportunity to specilize（专攻）.After obtaining a specific college degree,a job applicant can be competitive for previously unavailable(adj.难以获得的) jobs.For instance,applicants with computer science degrees would not only be qualified for jobs in high-tech companies,they would also be well prepared for any job with computer skills as a prerequisite（n.先决条件；adj.首要必备的）.With a larger range of potential jobs to choose from,degree holders are more likely to find a job that suits their particular needs and interests.

  Additionally,employers are willing to pay a premium for highly qualified applicants.For examples,many companies desire emplyees who are competent in more than one languages and offer higher salaries to attract them.Even if a job applicant without a college degree has high standardized test scores,employers may still place a higher value on an applicant with similar tests scores who also possesses credentials from a well-known university.Because of the extend to which a college degree is accepted by employers as proof of competence in a given field,college graduates are not only more likely to receive more job offers,they can also command higher salaries than applicants who lack college diplomas.

  Finally,in addition to offerring more choices and higher salaries,a college degree offers access to jobs with a clear path towards professional advancement.A BS（Bachelor of Science 理学学士） in biology，for example,coule allow a student to find a job in a lab after graduation.A first step on the road towards a career in scientific research.The same major could also be used to apply to a medical school,and a career as a doctor.Both of these avenues would be unavailable without taking the first step of an undergraduate degree(学士学位) in biology.

During this winter vocation,I have just met a relative who graduated from a vocational school,and now works in a company in the modern city Shanghai where excellent persons with ability work in.But can you guess how much salaries the boy get every month? Only six hundred every month!I feel so astonished when I heared this news.What an essential factor of holding Bachelor Degrees when we find a suitable job in this competitive society!

When I graduated from university,I quite felt misunderstood why personnels working at human resources department paid more attention to the degrees the applicants got and the credentials the applicants had.Now when I accumulate more working experiences,I feel the importance of the degree when we apply for a job-I mean a job that suits their particular needs and interests and provides higher salaries.When an applicant graduated from college or university,especially well-known university, and got a bachelor degree and some related credentials,she would acquire the basic skills of her major.When she steped into the work force,she would quickly accustomed to the job atmosphere,and got her own sucsess.So if I were the personnel working at human resources department and wanted to emply an applicant,I will hire the applicant with a well-known university degree and some related credentials.
