Money Vs College

In article, “College prepare people for life,” Freeman Hrabowski argues that “those who claim education is a waste of time are missing the bigger picture” (260). Hrabowski support his argument by contrasting the disadvantage of the college is expensive, unprepared for a world, and unmanageable debt with the benefits of most likely to be employed, strong grounding, the ability to think, get a job, and the path to limitless possibilities. The author’s purpose is to suggest “student should look carefully at the expense and anticipated grants and loans, and strong counseling to help with identifying the best possible option”, in order to state student is able to achieve desired their goal (260-261). The author writes in thoughtful in his article

Is college really worth the time and money? This is the question I am going to be exploring. While many people may have an idea that college is just an abundance of debt, other students argue that most of the information they learn doesn’t provide them with the value they thought it would (Adams 1). Many college students who grow up with the opportunity to go to college usually don’t stress the idea of going to school, but most students who don’t have the opportunity to go to school usually make school their priority. Students who don’t have the opportunity to go to school think this way because they want the opportunities they think they could have with a college education. I am deciding to argue about this topic because I grew up in a household that didn’t grow up with parents who stressed college, as a result, I am making a strong effort to get through college. Although college does have some disadvantages, going to college is worth the time and money because it provides critical thinking and opportunities for job advancement.

Rather than associating it with financial woes and four more years of backpacks and tests, further education should be credited with helping the development of one's social skills, personal growth, and becoming a well rounded and prepared member of society. One of the most prevalent issues with sending one to college is cost. Although the majority of Americans say higher education “fails to provide students with good value for the money they and their families spend”, 86%, the majority of GRADUATES say that personally, college was the best choice (Source F). On a student to student basis, stepping out of the present and looking at the bigger picture may be the

The decision to obtain a higher education beyond high school is no longer a question of if, but when. This is the question that author Caroline Bird discusses in her article, “College is a Waste of Time and Money,” written in 1975. This text strives to convince students, parents, and advisors that obtaining a degree might not be in the best interest for those involved. Circling around the idea that college is requirement and no longer an act of free will. Bird starts the article off strongly by building her credibility through her own personal research and other credible sources as well as appealing to readers

What you guys think does College Education Worth the Cost? In the article “The Wall Street Journal” edited by Riley, she said that a college education does not worth the cost. Again, she claims that most of the colleges are doing their business, they did not care about the student (Riley). Those types of colleges have lack serious core curriculum, they did not know their responsibility towards the student. Moreover, I will not support the Riley argument because I am going to support the article “college is still worth the expenses,” written by Justin Draeger. College education worth the cost from different ways. All college student does not have same aims to attain college. After high school some students have no any ideas what to do next. Those students just attain college, make friends and get some idea from them than only they decided what to do in life. Some of them continue college education and some of them find another field in which they are interested than only they start their journey. In this research essay I am going to argue college education worth the cost in several ways such as: Earning a college degree is all about opening up opportunities in life, being educated person, and getting better career opportunities.

The college debate is a hot topic and whether or not to attend college is a question that is increasingly harder to answer. At some point in every young adult’s life, and sometimes not so young, they must make the decision about whether or not to pursue a college education. For some, going to college is something they always knew they would do; while others agonize over the importance of a college education and the burden of taking on a large amount of debt to pay for it. For those who are fortunate enough to have parents who have the means to pay for college, it might seem like a no brainer, while for others it may very well be one of the most daunting decisions of their life thus far. Although I do believe that a college education would be valuable for everyone on a personal growth level and for many, on a financial level; in this day and age encouraging everyone to go to college may simply not be the best approach. In many ways our culture places too much emphasis on college as the only path to success while failing to recognize the value in alternatives to higher education. As a culture we need to acknowledge that there are many paths to learning, and our job markets must learn to acknowledge this too.

“That’s the value of a college education… I don’t know anywhere in the world where you can make an investment and make that kind of return,” conceived by Gaston Caperton signifies that in the long run, a graduate student will be pleased that they invested in a college education because of the benefits that later show in their life. College takes a big toll on students both financially and mentally, but the result outweighs the cost. With a college education, a graduate will see that it ends up excelling their career and future. In today’s society, one may benefit from obtaining a college education despite the cost of attendance, because it will help to provide many opportunities for the student’s career, and provides a more stable life in our

Although, according to the Washington Post, 60% of society believes that college is worth the cost, in NPR’s article, “When College Isn’t Worth It”, Anya Kamenetz discusses the circumstances when attending college is not worth the cost. The three reasons Kamenetz gives for college not being worth the cost are, “If you don’t graduate”, “if you pick the wrong college”, and “if you pick the wrong degree”. In order to thoroughly support her unpopular claim and gain the support of readers, Kamenetz uses a plethora of logical statements to sway the views of readers. Kamenetz writes statistics such as, “Only 59 percent of people who begin a four- year degree, with all good intentions, actually finish.” and “Some 34 million American adults attended college but have no degree to show for it.”. These two facts alone are proof of

When one thinks of college, a person does not question if it is a good or bad investment for the future. Most people would say that college is the greatest decision they made, but is it the best decision for everyone? In their article “Should Everyone Go to College?,” Stephanie Owen and Isabel Sawhill state that students must estimate the value of education associated with number of years to complete a degree to determine the rate of return of education. Owen is a senior research assistant at the Brookings’ Center on Children and Families and Sawhill is a codirector of the Center on Children and Families.

Most people believe that a college education is a waste of time and money. Some of those people that claim a college education is not worth it, have been successful without a college degree. However, there are people that believe that a college education is worth the time and money. Whether a college education is worth the time and money is a controversial topic. It is clear that a college education is worth the time and money because a college education opens doors. A person with a college degree has a better education. The last and more important reason is that employment rate is higher with a college degree.

Now days, many tenagers and adults have a common question in mind “Should or shouldn't I go to college and get my college degree?”. People are constantly having this debate amongst themselves knowing that getting a college degree can be very beneficial and help them get a suitable job . Still they are aware that many people who don’t get a college degree can find a suitable and well paid job.We all know that the process of a getting a college degree can be very time consuming and can be very costly.We also know that by going to college we will gain educational experience/ knowledge and a preview of what our career involves.

The value of education in a person’s life is undisputed. There are many benefits of going to college such as having a great career. Education is significant because it sets someone’s life towards their passion. However, for some, college isn’t always their first choice. There are many pathways a person can take which college is only one of them. In this essay, I intend that education is a great place to start off with and most of the people should attend it. In addition, I will reflect on how going to college is a great choice to start off, other alternatives a person can take other than college, and after my high school year.

A decade or two ago, a college education was considered more so a privilege rather than a choice. Today, our society takes education for granted by opting out of it because of the expenses, the stress and many other reasons that comes with going to school. Is a college education still worth having? Arguments will continually arise that it is no longer needed to be successful in today’s world. However, research and statistics continually prove that having one will remain far more beneficial than not earning one. Your time in college is the prime time for you to explore your options, make lifelong connections, and discover your strengths and weaknesses while working to earn something that will give you the feeling of pride. Life after college is significantly better for college graduates because they attract high paying employers which in turn will help earn a higher income, not to mention the added perks that will provide security and satisfaction in life.

Whereas some are convinced that students must have a degree to be successful, others maintain that students can be successful without a degree. College can serve as a great education, but not all college students benefit from having a college degree because of difficulties in today’s job market, the high cost of student loans, and learning differences.

College for many people has always been viewed as a must do, a must have, or it is very hard to be successful in the future. This article can change the way people look at going to college. “Universities are not intended to teach the knowledge required to fit men for some special mode of gaining their livelihood,” John Stuart Mill said. Charles Murray shares his view about how college is not always the best option for people by using different views of people and statistics to show why college may not be all it is said to be. Differences in an opinion by people can show too many people going to college or people do not need to go to college. Murray shows that there has to be a better way to become successful than by just getting a degree. Many students go to college looking to get a degree, but only about a third of people actually leave with one.
