Pursuing A Collectivist Career

Today, college is not an option in some homes. When applying to college it can be very stressful, especially when thinking about how much money it is going to cost someone each year that they are trying to earn a degree. Most college students go to school not because they want to spend money, but because they must earn their education to make it somewhere with a career. For example, imagine that a new graduate with a bachelor’s degree in construction management applies for a construction job and is competing against another applicant who only has some work experience

While college education is not mandatory, furthering one’s schooling broadens the amount of jobs one is qualified for and can attain. College provides many benefits and opportunities to students but the monetary value of college is not very appealing. Throughout high school I have worked hard for good grades and have pushed myself in accelerated courses to prepare myself for college, both for the curriculum and the tuition. My effort and efficiency as a student helped me receive a generous academic scholarship from North Central College and I know that my perseverant study habits will secure this scholarship throughout the next four years. Even with North Central’s scholarship, there is still a large sum of tuition left that I must pay each year. I am a dedicated student who understands the value of a college education, especially a private college education. Affording college is imperative to me and scholarships are on my daily to-do list so that I have the funds needed to further my education. By furthering my education I will have more knowledge, experience, and diligence when it comes to teaching my own students one day, and scholarships help make this

Over the past twenty-five years, college costs have accumulatively risen four-hundred percent. The percent of parents who contribute to their child’s student debt has dropped from thirty-seven percent to twenty-seven percent, compared to three years ago. Due to the lack of aid, most students have to try to balance a job and school at the same time resulting in eighty-five percent of college students working at least twenty hours a week. It has also been noted that students who work twenty hours or more a week while attending classes at the same time are less likely to graduate due to the high stress environment. Sixty-two percent of college students who drop out were responsible for their own college education. Even when students drop out, thirty percent are still faced with college debt, creating a loophole impossible to recover

A college degree is very crucial to the development of the national skills to match the market. However, the high cost of attaining the degree is driving many poor students from taking courses in universities. The possibility of an international student accessing equal education is the United States comes with a very high cost. For example, while a California community college student pays $46 per unit, an international student pays $250 per unit, which is very expensive and

One goal I have for the year 2016 is finish my basics for college before I graduate high school. I’m going to achieve this goal by continuing the dual-credit program at my local college San Juan. This goal means a lot to me due to the fact I am a Junior in high school and I could graduate as a sophomore or if I work extremely hard even as a junior in college. By achieving this goal I could save thousands of dollars in college fee’s due to the fact as long as I’m in high school while taking my dual credit courses I don’t have to pay. Along with saving money this goal also will allow me to graduate college almost fresh out of high school, meaning I could pursue my dream of being a children’s occupational

In article “ International Student Prepare for Additional College Fees” by Katy Hopkins,, the author explains the real reason for why most of the international students before finish the college or university they give up from education in United States, and they go to their country. The summary of the article is about going to college in the United states tends to be more expensive for international students than other students, whom are residents on a state. She also complains about why in some school even charge specific international students fees, often to pay for special programming or government-reguired international students tracking. For example In Ohio State University international students pay extra $500 fee per-semester. At the

In the 1980s a first-year college student could attend a public four-year university for $2,500 and a private university for a little over $5,000. Although, most of these universities are offering the same mediocre education from the last three decades; the cost of tuition has more than tripled for public universities and for private universities, it has gone up a staggering 85%. Canada holds an average educational cost of 5,974 and England follows with an estimated average cost of 5,288. In spite the tuition in the United States being more than twice that of its allies; the main problem contributing to the continuing rise of tuition are the billions of dollars owed in both federal and private student loans. Unfortunately, out of 15 countries the United States held the number one position when it came down to the cost of a higher education (including books, fees, room and board).With that being said, I will thoroughly explain in the following essay how student loans have affected the cost of tuition, compare US tuition to other countries, and analyze the average spending budget for most universities that prove to influence the rise in tuition.

When I first starting thinking about colleges, I figured that I had plenty of time to find a suitable one and apply. However, to my dismay, I soon realized that not only was the application process long and confusing, but it also cost a lot back then. Because of my busy schedule, when I discovered how time-consuming and expensive college was, I almost gave up looking entirely. I was just about ready to throw in the towel and find a suitable part time job and work my way up from there. Just when I felt I was getting overwhelmed, I took a break from college admissions for a while, and later picked them back up again. Little did I know that later in 2017, I would be accepted into ASU and successfully earn a bachelor’s degree in

College is a rite of passage not everyone has the luxury of experiencing. It is a student’s opportunity to further their education and prepare for the career of their choice. Unfortunately, some do not follow through due to the cost of it. Unbeknown to some people, they may be eligible for financial aid which support a student’s decision to follow through with college.

Any students can ask the consular to ask for the students willing to pay six hundred dollars in every two weeks while they are studying in the college from aways their homes. It’s very good starting to learning how to pay it back while their four years to reduce to pay their debt in the

My name is Jacob Owen Floyd; I am a 17 year old senior at Bartram Trail High School. The end goal for me is a job working as a physician’s assistant, working full time for a hospital somewhere in north Florida. I’m taking dual enrollment course while in high school to try my best and set me on the right track for the future. If I can knock out some of my credit hours early on than I will be better off when I enroll in a university full time. In today’s society, money is basically what runs the world,

Even though I gained admission to all the colleges I applied to after high school, my parents were not able to raise enough money to cover for my school expenses. I stayed home for some time trying to help my parents raise enough money for school. I’m the first generation student in my family and coming from a family living under low income and struggle to put food on the table, we knew the only way to come out of this situation is through college education and that is what I'm committed to do.

Finally, the most difficult challenge students face in college is a financial hardship. Many students come from various walks of life and sometimes determining one’s financial capability to offset college costs during the early stages of can be problematic. Some students come from well to do families who have a tremendous capacity to pay full tuition without external assistance. These particular students do not require financial aid or scholarships, as they can meet the institution’s financial requirement regardless of what level in college they may fall under as the source of wealth is derived from the family or families. Other students, however, come from impoverished families whom solely depend on financial aid and work full time or part time

While there are many problems college students’ face while attempting to obtain a degree, the largest hindrance from completion is that of financial ability. One of the largest contributors to college dropout rates is the lack of financial support. Many college students must work either full or part time to support themselves or their families. With the declining economy and increasing costs of college tuition, funds are being scarcely distributed and many college students find that they are unable to continue their education due of this.
