Post-Secondary Education

Pursuing a post-secondary education is very important because without that extra education you will not be able to get as good of a career as you would with a post-secondary education. With that extra education you have more opportunities of higher paying jobs and healthcare coverage. Also when students go to college they have a chance to listen to the Professors lecture on their personal field of study, so they know what they are talking about. With a college degree you are also open to more promotion opportunities. Also when you go into the college life it is a time where you get a big taste of the real world, you start to be independent, learn to save money and pay bills.

What do you want to be when you grow up? Where do you want to go to college? What is your intended major? Ever since elementary school, we have all been bombarded with these questions. Our lives have always been focused on thinking about the future and what we can do to make our families proud. Now, the moment has come where these decisions must be made.

Continuing a post-high school education is a massive pressure that parents give their kids and in most cases, the reason being, is that they want their kids to have a better way of life than they themselves ever had. Usually the topic of college arises when the child is in high school and the options of whether or not it is the best decision for the person seem to be the topic of most dinner table conversations. In some cases the only option is going to college. This stubborn and strict attitude can be traced to the parent and the social class or economic hardships they have raised their children around, compared to the one they could have if they continued their education.

Canada has the highest proportion of highly-educated adults among all OECD countries, as 51 per cent of the Canadian population has earned a post-secondary degree (Community Team). Yet, many university student would stop pursuing for more post-secondary education because of the student debt they would have to endorse. As the globalize market is getting more competitive every day, Canada would soon be lacking behind in the global economy if our education system does not make changes to provide better education for Canadians. Therefore, the post-secondary education system in Canada should make changes in order to match the ongoing global competition. Coordination is needed from the federal government, the provincial government and the universities

Some forget how important it is to maintain good grades and stay out of trouble because if anything were to happen colleges can look at it and might not want you anymore. All your actions are being watched and it is critical to be reminded on the importance of it. Throughout high schools, colleges are observing students play sports, academic achievements and overall GPA. It is a constant trend that students take the chances they have for granted by doing something silly outside of school or just giving up on school in general. Therefore, students need to keep in mind that even though a college may want a student, it doesn’t mean they’re fully committed and can take school as a joke. Students have to keep up their grades and extracurricular activities or the school can easily find someone better to replace

The Post-Secondary unit was probably the most helpful unit out of all my high school career. Even though I already had a basic plan for my future, I learned a lot of new, valuable information throughout this unit. I realized how different college is from high school because of the amount of time we spend in class and on homework. I’m excited for the shorter class times and the extended times for myself to study because I tend to learn more that way. Since I decided that I want to go into Pharmacy at STLCOP, I researched the admission requirements. The college requires an essay which I would have needed to start soon, but I know I would procrastinate until the last minute. This unit required me to write an essay for a college, therefore, it

At fifteen years old I watched as my mother read through the pages of Hartman’s Nursing Assistant Care, preparing for the next day’s test. For a year I watched as my mother struggled to juggle three children, a full-time job and school. It was over this year that I realized just how important a post-secondary education was in today’s world. Overtime, I studied how my parents would live pay check-to-pay-check and made the conscious decision to kick-start my own future.

President Obama once said, “Every single one of you has something that you’re good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That’s the opportunity an education can provide.” For about two decades, people have been quarreling about whether post-secondary education is necessary. Opposers against college argue that one can still have a good job without a college degree. However, post-secondary education is essential because there is a lesser chance of being unemployed, the greater chance of a better salary, and it can help inspire someone to change the world.

Post-secondary education has a multitude of purposes. Many people have their own opinions about whether you should continue with school later, but most will benefit from a Higher Education than just High School. This is beneficial because you can further yourself in life, find better jobs with higher education and you will receive more freedom if you choose a school somewhere other than your home town.

“It is hard.” “The professors do not care if you show up to class or not.” “You are practically on your own.” “But you need to go to college.” This was how my Junior High and High school teachers went about motivating our class to attend college. There is a great tinge of irony in the fact that the individuals responsible for my education were also the individuals responsible for my doubt in it, that is, post-secondary education. However, I was fortunate to discover what college was really like, and Letourneau helped me do this.

In today’s day and age, postsecondary education is mandatory, to compete and succeed in the job market. This need for higher education results in a larger numbers of students arriving at universities every year. Higher education in the form of universities and colleges represent environments, which students are invited to find out their future, challenge their fellow peers and professors, and learn the ins and outs of their chosen field.
