College Ready – what does it mean? Our first point is “Why go to college?” ‐ How many of you here want to go to college? ‐ How many of you aren’t quite sure yet? ‐ Well of those of you who said you wanted to go, can anyone tell me why? Why do you want to go to college? Get responses. Absolutely. These are all great reasons why you should want to go to college. Let’s talk about a few of them in depth. 3

College is now defined as 1,2,4 or more years of education after high school One-year certificate to a four-year degree and beyond. It can mean an associate degree in nursing or a bachelor’s degree in business. It can mean a certificate in diesel mechanics or a degree in computer information systems But here’s the great thing; no matter what a college education looks like to you, it means success for everyone in the form of better pay, more employment, and most of all – opportunity
