A
It u won $ 50,000,000 would u still go to college?
Lots of people go to college so they have a chance to get a better job, but if you won $ 50 million, would you still pursue（追求）a higher education?
Re: If u won $ 50,000,000 would u still go to college?
I would surely still go to college if I had that much money, but I would not be competing for a scholarship on collegenet. com. I would probably still discuss things here and I would create other scholarships to help other people to go to college as well.
With $ 50 million, I would not have to worry about getting a loan（贷款）from Chase Bank or finding scholarships to study abroad. I would have published several books by now as well, but I would still pursue my education. Going to undergraduate school is something that I really want to do because I want to become a Pediatrician. Money may buy a lot of things, but it does not necessarily give you knowledge and knowledge is what I am hunting for now.
I am not just going to school to get a better job; I am going to school to realize all of my dreams. $ 50 million is a lot of money, but no amount of money can keep me from my dreams.

Re: If u won $ 50,000,000 would u still go to college?
Would I still go? UMM , YES YES YES YES YES! ! ! ! !
I still want to teach... I don’t care if I have more money than Bill Gates... I still want to be in a classroom teaching! ! And I need a degree to do that! Teaching is my dream job, and it would make me really happy.
I would pay off my loans as well as my boyfriend’s loans and help out a couple of friends who are having trouble with money.
Re: If u won $ 50,000,000 would u still go to college?
I would still go to college. The only difference is with that much money to go to college I probably would stay in college longer and pursue a few extra degrees while I am there. I am looking for knowledge not money. The only problem is I need money to pursue knowledge.
Also I could set up scholarship funds and I could save some more for additional dreams that I have.
