College Education

Employees need to bring skills to the table, as well as the ability to continue learning, growing, and providing value for their employer(s). I am not saying people who choose low paying degrees aren’t successful, not even. Many people choose degrees based on what makes them content,... ... middle of paper ... ...s comes with college being too expensive and is growing at a rate higher than inflation (Kantrowitz). There are many great jobs out there that don’t require a degree and pay good as well as on the job training. The truths many people aren’t willing to admit are getting a college degree will lead people to better careers too.

Many believe that a college education will ultimately lead to a higher income, but according to Bird, “there is no real evidence that the higher income of college students is due to college” (376). Since there is no clear correlation between the two, students should not attend college if the only reason they are attending is to earn a higher income. They should not risk taking out a lot of loans, and graduating with a large amount of debt. Overall, I think that college is not a good investment because not everyone needs a college degree for the career they intend to pursue, and investing in college is not worth risking being in debt after taking out large amounts of

Getting a higher education in America is necessary even though it is a bit too costly. People do not find college necessary. These people believe college is not for them and are looking for jobs that do not require a college degree. What these people do not realize is that even if a certain job does not require a college degree, it is still necessary for raising the amount of money you can earn by going to college for that specific job. Some people find it easy to get a job they love without earning that college degree.

In today’s world, many will argue that going to college isn’t necessary and others will say it’s a necessity. There are many people who don’t have a college degree and manage to succeed in life, but nowadays it’s definitely important. There is so much competition to get hired and people are now required to have a bachelor’s. At least, they give you priority if they see you have an education. Many people think that having a degree is worthless because of the debt that you may go into; but that degree will help you have a better future.

In Andrew Delbanco’s essay, he discusses the reasons why he believes college is still important even in today’s society. Delbanco mentions some of the reasons why students don’t necessarily feel inspired to go to college to pursue a higher education. One of the biggest reasons, is money. The cost of colleges and universities is extremely expensive. Although many people want to pursure a college education, they don’t really have the privilege of obtaining a higher education due to economic reasons.

Although college can be scary for some people because of the costs or the classes and the new experience, it would later be for their advantage. Some people only go to college because that is what their parents want, but they should be going because they want to go and they want to learn and want to get a higher paying job in the future. With less people going to college, there will be less money going to the colleges... ... middle of paper ... .... Johnson, Terrence L. "Planning for College Costs." Black Enterprise 04 1997: 77-84.

Higher education is more valuable that people prioritize it to be. It is unfair to have kids debase themselves all for not being financially strong. There are kids out there that are academically acceptable to colleges but are not financially acceptable for them. So then you have colleges emphasizing financial aid but what good does a small amount of assistance do for a whole lot of tuition? When will financial aid be more of a benefit for low income students rather than just a chump of

The value of higher education continues to rise with economical demand in more advanced careers. The advancement in technology has changed the standards for educational requirement for many jobs. The regulations are not intended for government control of education, but rather setting limits and boundaries for universities and colleges across the nation. Universities need to prioritize their delivery of a quality education rather than increasing the financial tension in students. The factors that establish tuition cost are very complex, but actions can be taken by the government through the public to establish a more reasonable and balanced financial system in colleges and universities.

The USA needs to start encouraging its citizens to go to trade schools because that is where the jobs that make good money are. A college degree used to be the only way to get a good paying job but times have changed and getting vocational training from a trade school is the best option many people have for earning a living. Education comes at a high price for this generation and not just financially. Going to college can give students plenty of debt with no promise of a job in return, which can set a student father back on their course of life. Young adults trying to start their lives by going to college encounter many setbacks.

Can college education be worth pursing? There are questions about whether or not going to college will lead a better financial future later on. Many people are confused on why to invest time and money for attending college because some people believe that college education will not guarantee a higher paying job. People who want to go to college to obtain a bachelor’s degree but do not have the amount of money and available time are saddened to miss the opportunities of that experience. College offers higher education, but it is not free to obtain higher education without paying the college’s tuition, fees, transportation, and books.
