It’s a piece of paper that will cost the average family a minimum of $50,000 for their child to receive and when this paper is given they all of a sudden are a whole new person. This paper will acknowledge their participation in a college enough to earn this degree and as such be much wiser then they were before and honestly more marketable to the world. Will the information that they received be absorbed to make them the well rounded person they need to take on the world challenges only experience will tell. Are those without this paper less worthy of stepping the stairs of success? Many in society have concluded so and even those willing to let others climb will make the stairs more difficult to climb. We can conclude though that such a diploma acknowledges the hard work, tireless hours and maturity said individual has made to receive this accommodation and for that reason this might be the best $50,000 plus a family will ever spend in their lives.
