Achieving a college degree is worth the time and effort as well as the financial struggle because there is more to be gained besides context knowledge. College is something that has dropped in importance as less and less people attend every year. These students are unsure as to whether it is worth it.Parents push their kids towards college and some even tell them not to go because of financial problems. This pressure students to make a life changing decision. This is all things that may keep a student from a secondary education that could kick-start a new and better life.

In today’s society students aren’t pushed in high school to pursue their full potential, which makes students think they don’t need to put hard work into school making them lazy. The outcome of this is bad grades and upset parents making them believe they aren’t smart and that is why they are getting the grades they are receiving. In actuality these students aren’t being pushed and the teachers aren’t tapping into their talents to show them the full academic potential they have.

“In the United States today, there is no more certain investment than a college education”(Carnevale and Melton). Education has always been a major component of American society. One can only go so far without an education, and the more education and knowledge someone has, the better their chances of being successful. Some people believe a high school education is enough, and it is, enough to land a job at a fast food restaurant. I speculate they feel this way because they feel school is not for them, or maybe they just do not want to go far in life. To get far in life people must go above and beyond, and learn things that others do not know to make them

Another reason is not being pushed to take advanced classes. I experienced many teachers just try to push student to get the basics so they would earn their high school diploma. When in reality this is not preparing us for the college work. I understand everyone is not college material, but for the ones who

I agree with Erma Bombeck's article says, life does give you a lot of obstacles that make you want to give up. School is hard but it’s our responsibility to not let that get in the way, everything is possible. We have to try and try until we meet our goals. Without education we can’t really get in anywhere.

Many kids do not take school seriously and just go to have fun and joke around with their friends and do not truly understand how much a good education is worth. They think it's just fun and games, but if we allow the children of today continue on this path they will regret it when adults. Apart from going to school to have fun others find it extremely boring and don't apt attention or just "skip school". They think this won't affect them, but statistics show that students who miss 10 or more days are twenty percent less likely to graduate high school (Carlos Azuz). students develop their idea of school in the early years so if we do not teach them how important it is to study, attend school and work hard we are setting them up for a harder times in middle school and education later in life because they have that association of school and boring that they do not appreciate what they can actually learn. This problem of not knowing what decisions to make even reaches to a college level. Students with too much freedom do not necessarily make the best choices. " The vast majority of college students aren't completing their degrees on time, largely due to a lack of guidance and too many choices." Children need freedom, but they also need guidance. if we teach children the importance of an education at a early age they are more likely to reach success. School will actually be fun,

Sherry uses an example of this very issue in her essay when she writes about her own son. Sherry’s son, once threatened by a teacher with failing an English class, buckled down, did his schoolwork, and went from a failing grade to getting an A in the class. Some MATC students have openly admitted that they do not really care about their education. They have said they find the teachers boring and they feel that as long as they pass with the minimum grades needed to graduate why try harder. These particular students think that as long as they get their diploma it will not matter that they have only put in the minimal amount of effort necessary to get by. They argue that any future employers that may hire them will never know what their grade point average was or know about the lack of effort they put into school. The high cost of these students’ low expectations will most likely consist of future disappointments and failures for them. People who have low expectations of themselves cost society in many ways. Low expectations tend to foster low achievement. Our economy is becoming increasingly knowledge based. People with low expectations cost time and money. Employers want to hire people who strive to do well in all they do. In life, we all have to do things we do not necessarily like. The question is do we try to do our best no matter what? In a recent article I read, it stated that one school in particular, here in the Midwest, allowed 27%

Owen and Sawhill begin by stating how yes, higher education does hold a very important place in society today, however; it still may not be the best decision for every single student about to venture into adulthood (Sawhill 209-211). Many students go on to college and never obtain a degree, meaning they accumulated debt but did not achieve the higher pay that many studies have predicted. Others may obtain a degree in a field that doesn’t have a higher return on their investment on education. Just over half of students who enter a four-year school graduate in six years or less (Sawhill 218), some of this can be attributed to higher achieving students, however; many other factors attribute to low graduation rates. More often than not, first

When I was a little girl my friends and I always talked about what we were going to be when we grew up. Some said a teacher; others said a nurse, secretary, and even a mom. I knew what I was going to be, but what we don't think about is how we get to be these things. We float through elementary school, having small children fun. Next we go to middle school trying to find our ways in the world, some of us worries about grades, and some don't. Not many thinking ahead of high school, let alone college. In high school we soon realize that grades are very important and better grades give you a better chance at better colleges. So those of us who want to go to college start cramping down on our studies so we can get those desirable grades. I may have not been the perfect student throughout high school. My Study habits could have been better, but one thing I do know is that I want to do more with my life than just a high school diploma.

Many people in my generation do want things handed to them without having to put forth much effort, but for most people if they are encouraged, especially by educators to do great students will want to go above and beyond. Most students attend school just to receive a diploma or to get a degree these days, simply because throughout school parents, administrators and even some friends always say you can’t do anything without a diploma. McDonald’s will not even hire you without a high school diploma. Students go to school to earn a grade, not to learn. I was one of those students. I paid enough attention just so I could pass a test, then never bothered to revisit what I learned.

There is a misconception spreading around the world that a good education is not the key to success. They may pull up examples such as Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, and even famed actor Bruce Willis. They often forget to mention that there are the outliers, the lucky ones. How about the other millions of other dropouts who aren’t so lucky? A formal education is a great investment for people, it provides a professional learning environment for everyone, provides an opportunity to obtain a credential in your field of specialization, and makes you more competitive in the work force. Although a formal education is not the key to success for some, for the majority it is essential.

My occupation of choice is web designer, and I chose this because even though I don’t know everything about computers I am very fast at learning about them. It’s never too late to start this occupation and I know if I put time and effort into this\ I know I will love it and I can be good at it. As a web designer I will create and keep up with websites, including the layout, and function according to the client. (Web Developer) Web designing has really developed over time ever since the “World Wide Web” was created and it has visually improved as well as the speed and mobility. The requirements for this occupation vary with what kind of work that they do, they can range from a high school diploma to a bachelor’s degree. Though

Not only do universities teach at three times the rate of a high school, but it requires students to take their own notes. Without a good education, new students could find this adjustment to learning very overwhelming and stressful. However, if having a good education was a right, not only would it prepare the student for these new changes, but it would help them persevere and get their degree. Therefore, a good education could be the difference between a student dropping out or graduating.
