Over the past couple decades, we as a society are beginning to see the dramatic increase of competition when applying to a desired college of choice. The level of difficulty that modernist times displayed are now considered minimal to the amount of competition we are seeing in this postmodernist era. Our society and culture keeps these mindset that if one does not go to a highly-respected college that they will be behind everyone when it comes to finding a job. In my opinion that is just a stereotype. Going to college is very important but there remains a false theory out their, which still continues to grow with postmodernism. The idea that majority of "ivy" league alum will be more financially stable than those people who didn't attend one of those schools. That is just a pre-conceived misconception, their are many different variables when discussing what makes someone successful or not. If one was fortunate enough to attend one these top schools then its still up to them to make it in the real world. Growing up, hoping to get into a highly regarded school is completely fine, however for those who don't get in, don't let society's cultural stereotype affect you to much. Some of the best minds in the world and most successful too, didn't even finish or attend college. In this post modernistic generation, we are brought up to get into a good college, get married, have kids and get a solid paying job. Those are the "guidelines" one what our society deems significant. With getting into a respected college being the first on the list. The world is constantly changing, some positive attributes and others not so much. However, its important to keep in mind that when society evolves doesn't necessarily mean you have to do a 360 degree turn with it. Going to college is very helpful to have on a resume, but working hard is something that can never be taught. One needs that natural desire, which we all have, you just need to find it. In the end, our culture relishes itself on its success stories, and from what I know, those who make the most of their situation are most often the most successful.
