A college education can be priceless. 36 If any of these following factors had a big influence on your decision, you’re probably right to second-guess yourself.
Perhaps you come from a family where everyone goes to college. Or maybe, you’re the kid that everyone is proud to believe will be the first to get there. 37 . It’s become so much a part of the air you breathe that you’ve never stopped to consider whether you want to go or whether you’re ready to go.
In only a few weeks’ time, the whole friend group will be scattered to a half dozen different colleges in a half dozen different places. 38 Friends would wonder what’s wrong with
you. Some would take it as a betrayal(背叛) of the dreams you’ve dreamed together and the
plans you’ve made.

It’s been tough to find even a summer job. You don’t have an alternative plan. Everyone else is doing it . You think you might as well go to school. That is the lamest of reasons to spend
$20,000 or more in the next year.
Your uncle tells you that his one regret in life is that he didn’t go to college. Others tell you that they could have gone so much farther in their career if only they had a college education.
40 So this is not a persuasive reason for you to go to college.
A. Not to go would be set yourself apart.
B. Because you don’t know what else to do.
C. That’s much too fine.
D. It seems that for years everyone has just assumed(认为) that of course you’ll go.
E. Everyone seems more excited than you are.
F. But maybe in your heart you know that you are going for the wrong reasons.
G. Whatever the story is, there are always people who regret decisions they’ve made.
