          Students say that they go to college because they don't want to work "just" for the money students want work that it is important. However students do not realize that not everyone can save the world. There aren't enough world-saving jobs to go around. However, is plenty of employment in ordinary but honorable professions such as plumbing sales auto repair house painting. Also drafting, trucking and home health. these jobs do not promote a college degree but they all have the potential to be well-paid if unromantic career. Maybe young people should be more practical to think about their futures. Young people should look for satisfying work and save their dreams for leisure time activities.
