( Word Reader - Unregistered ) www.word-reader.com Why go to university? People attend college or university for career advancement and for strict personal reasons These are my specific reasons basing on how I look at this First of all, people advance their career and pursue their goals to be able to get promoted, to elevate their position, get more pay, and self-fulfillment Those were basically for personal reasons Now, there's this so called career advancement where people just want new experiences, sharpen their skills and broaden their horizon Like for instance, I am basically an immigrant here in the USA I was a professional licensed teacher and librarian in the Philippines I have an extreme love for my profession and want to continue here in the USA to boost my self-worth and at the same time maximize my potentials as a professional I came to realize that I have to start from scratch where it takes me to a lot of hard work, perseverance and self-sacrifice involved just to be able to enter into the US professional world Suffice it to say that there's also money involved during the process It's quite a whole new different thing in order to survive, to acclimatize and to keep me going to my new adopted country I can also say that part of my motivations to attend college or university is to better my future Financial matter is also another reason I've dreamed that all the time - being financially stable to enjoy the fruits of their labor and live my life to the fullest Not that I not stable financially, but my point is to get myself established To sum it up, it all boils down to people's personal motivations, perspective, convictions, and satisfaction
