The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become "better" people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go.
But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now mat close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don’t fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school. Others find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators.
Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that’s a condemnation of the students as a whole, and doesn’t explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right.
Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesn’t make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things—maybe it’s just the other way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not.

答案
Many people assume that college graduates are better-educated, more civilized and responsible than those who haven’t received higher education, and that having a college diploma means getting higher pay in workplace. This is true to some extent because college study can provide spiritual cultivation for young people, equip them with profound knowledge or skills. But this does not mean it works for every college student; some may find it difficult to adapt to college life, some lack motivation to study, some may also cheat in exams or plagiarize from others’ academic paper, and many others couldn’t find a satisfactory job after graduation. We have the illusion that college goers are cultivated with better personalities only because it was these intelligent, creative and hard-working people who have been appealed to college at first. Thus, I think having college education doesn’t equal becoming a better person or achieving greater success. Whether going to the college or not won’t be the determinative factor for one’ s success or failure. What really matters is the person himself.
