Why Do We Go To College?

Why do we go to university? It's probably because you want that diploma. But why do we get that diploma? When we ask this question, most opinions split into a bunch of directions. I personally believe that diploma is just an "insurance" so that you don't fall into the bottom of society. Recruiters use diploma as a way to check the student's educational background. It's basically a ticket into society. The level of college and diploma is just a status. Students with higher status have higher chance of getting a good job, on the other hand, the choices are a little more limited when it comes to the lower status students. If we think about it, diplomas are just status for self promotion and nothing else.
