The person I would like to introduce is Lorie, she is the General Manager of Culligan Total Water. I chose her because she is the only person I know that works in a position that would involve enough mathematical skills to write a two page paper.
Her position usually requires a degree in Business Management, or something equivalent, however, she was hired at Culligan for the General Manager position due to her past management experiences she had with other companies. Lorie did complete high school and also had some extra office type classes through MATC. My future plans are not to be in Management however, regardless of what type of career I choose, I believe math skills are important.
In Lorie’s position she does need some mathematical

She uses excel spreadsheets for different positions of the company. One of the exel spreadsheets is used for the route drivers. This sheet is set up by formulas to figure out their units per man hour for delivered products, which in turn will help figure out their bonus for meeting their quota. The spreadsheet formulas figure out the number of products delivered, the type of products delivered, and the amount of time it took to run each route. This will then calculate their units per man hour.
Another spreadsheet used is the sales department. The formulas on this spreadsheet will calculate their commissions, the type of units sold or rented, the address of each customer and what the total commissions to be paid will be. There are several other excel spreadsheets used in the company in each department using formulas, however, they are all similar to what has been

She believes that by going to College it would have gave her more knowledge in the accounting position, which in turn would help her develop her spreadsheets without any help. She learned most of what she knows by on the job training and a few additional classes she has taken at MATC. She does make a very good salary, and doesn’t think by having a degree in Management she could have made more money. She stated that she did not know that she would one day be in a Management position when she graduated high school. She fortunately landed a job that groomed her to be the Director of Operations and was employed there for 10 years. Her position of Director of Operations helped her to get her current Management position at
“A person with a bachelor’s degree can earn as much as a millon over a lifetime than someone with just a high school diploma”. This may be true to many people but I don't believe in that because there has been a lot of people with successful jobs. Steve Jobs, “Commencement Speech at Stanford” implies that he didn’t go to college, but he created Apple which is worth $2 billion and he had 4,000 employees. “I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest i’ve ever gotten to a college graduation”(Steve Jobs). Theres still hope for you being successful without stepping a foot at a college
Debbie chose to return to school with the hopes of a pay raise which is her motivation. According to Herzberg’s two factor theory there may have been have of been many reasons for Debbie’s motivation. “Wages, Hours, Working conditions, Relationships with supervisors, Relationships with peers” Baack, D. E. & Fischer, A. (2013) can all be reasons in why Debbie had returned to school. These particular factors are all a motivation to push forward and succeed so ultimately “Achievements, Recognition, Actual work or job, Responsibility, Chance for advancement or growth”
Many people are confused on why to invest time and money of attending college. A reason for obtaining a higher education is that a college degree can possibly earn a much higher salary than the majority of the people who have a high school diploma. College can be expensive and time consuming for the most of the people that do not have enough money and spare time to go to college. Stephen Rose, a research professor at the Georgetown University, wrote an article on “The Value of a College Degree” to explain if a college degree can be valuable to people to have. Eleni Karageorge, an author on the United States Department of Labor, wrote an article “Is A College Degree Still Worth It?” to give some details on job occupations that compares with employees having a bachelor’s degree or a high school diploma on how much they annually make on their job. Finally, Paul E. Barton, a consultant and a writer for topics related on education, wrote an article “How Many College Graduates Does the U.S. Labor Force Really Need?” on giving details on how valuable to have a college degree in the near future are needed when certain occupations are on high demand with a requirement on having a least a bachelor’s degree. We need to know why going to college is so important for anyone who wants to have professional occupations.
In Linda Lees "The case against college", she argues that going to college may not always be the right move for every high school gradatuate. She explains that, "only 27 percent of Americans have a bachelors degree or higher". This does leave a staggering amount of room for people that have had success without degrees, such as bill gates or the average hard worker entrepreneur. She uses a personal anecdote from her own experience of why college isn’t for everyone. Lee explains that her son got into a pretty good school, and enrolled because all his friends were going and it should be fun, but he wasn’t ready, he elected to miss classes and was there for all play and no work, while Lee was paying one thousand dollars a week for her son’s education.
There was many reasons why I decide to attend college. I am extremely tired of applying for distinctive positions and being rejected for not having a degree. I'm a supervisor now over thirty employees when I see different positions opening in management or higher position. I apply on behalf of the job, gain being interviewed for my experience. Nevertheless, not having a college degree really afflicts me. As a result, I decided to attend college and further my education.
the real world. Finding a career after earning a college degree is challenging, and “it’s true that 2017 graduates are having a hard time finding jobs.”.(Callahan, paragraph 9) This came to light during a presidential debate, when a college student asked “How can you make it possible for me to be absolutely sure I can get a job with my degree?”, this kind of instability shows that college isn’t necessary for any kind of success.
In today’s world, many people think that a college degree isn’t what it used to be. A college degree used to guarantee a job right out of school, and now, even graduates with masters degrees being unemployed in their field of study. William A. Henry talks about this subject in his book , In Defense of Elitism. Henry talks about how degrees don’t guarantee your field of study anymore, and how that the only reason why some people even get job interviews in the first place is because they can put that they have a college degree on their resume. He talks about how just because you perform tasks better in the workplace that it doesn't mean you’ll get the promotion. College educations used to be seen
Beginning at an early age, children who are encouraged academically by their parents, educators, and coaches will grow up with the realization that a thorough education will provide for them—financially and professionally—in the future. One of the first things that we are taught is that if we graduate with a degree from college, then we will have a better job and more opportunities in the future. There are many instances where this rings true. According to Brookings Institution publication “an individual with a college degree is nearly nine times more likely to make over $100,000 than someone with only a high school diploma and 13 times more likely to make more
I had the pleasure of interviewing Christy Johnstone. Christy is the current billing manager at Summit Health Professions in Chambersburg. Her introduction into the medical field began while she was still in high school attending Votec for CNA nursing. Once graduated, Christy decided that upfront care wasn’t what she wanted to get into; therefore, Christy got a job as a medical recorder. She then advanced at her job to come to her current position. She has had to continue to do some schooling which included getting CTC, C-MOM, and Insurance billing certified.
I am thankful for the opportunity to return to school after so long, and thankful that I am doing so now instead of procrastinating and allowing another ten years to go by. After evaluating the benefits, I realized just how much earning potential I am not taking advantage of by not having my degree. “The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that persons with a high school degree make, on average, $626 weekly. In comparison, persons with an Associate’s degree make $761, workers with a Bachelor’s degree make $1,025 and those with a Master’s degree take in $1,257 a week. According to these numbers, a person with an Associate’s degree is likely to earn nearly $7,000 more per annum than someone with just a high school diploma, a person with a Bachelor’s degree is likely to earn nearly $14,000 more a year than someone with an Associate’s degree, and a worker who possesses a Master’s degree is likely to earn nearly $12,000 more annually than someone with just a Bachelor’s degree.” Gulbrandsenon, C. (2003). I can only move forward, and am glad that I’ve committed to bettering myself for mine and my daughter’s future.

It is believed that the higher the education a person receives, the more likely they are to land a job right out of college. Jamie Hurd, after graduating with a six year degree in architecture, has managed to only find a part time job within her field. When Hurd goes to look for other jobs, she feels the need to “play down her schooling”(230) Hurd feels, “Here you’ve got this professional degree, and it’s almost a hindrance…Sometimes you feel overqualified.(230) The situation that Jamie Hurd finds herself in unfortunately is not an uncommon one. I have heard many stories of being “overqualified”. In the United States, if a person
