Wants to learn more about the subjects interesting her. Also, has the idea of a certain job which requires a master and potentially Ph.D.
So, it works out for her, I guess. |

| They want jobs and careers that will make it possible to not live paycheck to paycheck and save for retirement. But not for at least another four years! |

| I think it’s a fine answer, OP. I just hope it works out that way for her. (It didn’t for me.) But lifelong friends is never a bad goal to have. |

| “Because I want to get a job I enjoy and college is something that will help me do that. And also because it’s an experience I want to have, and I’ll get to take cool classes about things I’m excited to learn about rather than just required courses. And I would like to attend at least one good party in my entire life.” |

| Asking "why" is asking for trouble. I'm not going in search of trouble. That would be dumb. I'm the adult. I know college graduates make more money. Fortunately we can afford it. They can do anything they want for a living -after- they get their 4 year college degree. |
