First of all, the starting point is different. If you don't go to college, you will go to the society early and only do some manual work. People who go to college have received higher education, and with a college diploma, they have more choices in employment.

Second, the vision is different. People who don't go to college will gain more work experience and wealth in these four years.

But after graduating from college, their advantages stand out. During college, students can not only get in touch with professional knowledge, but also get in touch with many other people and jobs, with a broad vision and an open mind. At this point, migrant workers may not be able to contact and learn.

Third, there are differences in the circle of friends. In college, you can meet many talented teachers and classmates, and you can meet successful people in a certain field of society. This is a valuable network resource. People who don't go to college have a narrow contact range and a low level of education.

Of course, this does not mean that people who have gone to college are more suitable to get along with each other and earn more money than those who have not. From a high probability, people who go to college will have the right to choose in the future, not necessarily to make a living, but to choose a meaningful and time-consuming career. John F. Kennedy

I won't talk about the obvious differences in employment, economic income, living conditions and cognitive differences. I think the important difference is:

Both college students and high school students have the ability to learn knowledge. How to turn knowledge into ability and practice is completed in the university stage.

Because the lifestyle, learning style and interpersonal relationship at this stage are completely different from those in high school. They need to complete their sense of self-identity in this process, which is the most important task of psychological development.

For example, he controls less and less and demands more and more constraints.

I had a goal, but I'm going to college and now I'm qualified. Maybe the sense of purpose has disappeared. What should I do in my next life?

People seem to be getting more and more complicated. Many questions are unclear. The simple interaction between you and me has disappeared!

When we arrived at the university, we really began to have the choice to do something for ourselves!

This may sound a little sad, but it's better to know that you have a choice than not to know that you have a choice!
