Did you know that the college students you know are paying for their higher education with many expensive loans? The worst part is that a lot of the classes they are in debt for were forced onto them and don’t have anything to do with their major. If it doesn’t have anything to do with the whole reason they are attending college, then why are students wasting their money on it? We shouldn’t have to.
We have all heard, “General classes make for well-rounded people.” Sure, we can listen to our elders on this matter, but if this is true, then what was high school for? How about junior high or elementary school? Aren’t these schools supposed to be preparing us for college and our careers?
There is no reason to have generals in college except to give the universities more money. Student loans currently account for $1.6 trillion of debt. This number is insane, and a good chunk of that number is from paying for general classes. For a four-year college degree, the average debt that students are in is around $25,921. Half of that could be cut out if we didn’t have general classes to pay for. Along with the money, we could be out in the field two years earlier than we would have otherwise.
College is supposed to prepare us for our future jobs, but all it is doing is making us pay money. We need to get rid of general classes because all they are doing is bringing more debt to students and the United States. I believe that we get our “well-rounded” quality from our 12 years of doing nothing but generals. Let college be what it is meant for: preparing us for the job we wish to have.
