Education as a whole has been the key to the future and provides to the students with skill that they could not get anywhere. The new age has clearly shown us that education is a vital ingredient for a person’s future. Education has shown that one who studies further has a better lifestyle and will be highly respected, but what education cannot do is offer everyone the opportunity to succeed. Only a few students can take advantage of education; because if suddenly
The articles “Blue-Collar Brilliance” written by Mike Rose and “Are Too Many People Going to College?” by Charles Murray discuss the importance of education and its outcomes. Both authors talk about people’s careers on the aspect of whether a college degree made them succeed in life or it is just an expensive waste of time. Also, each article has its own opinion over the fact that some people with college education aren’t able to find jobs while others with no college background are able to succeed. Rose and Murray, both agreed on the idea that college isn’t for all just simply because of its cost, and how each person’s intelligence does not depend on their acceptance to a college; further, both authors also acknowledge the importance of blue-collar workers and their prosperity.
America’s education system has been in a state of distress for the past decade, but garnished headlines recently as the student loan debt crisis reached over a trillion dollars. In conjunction with that, tuition is no longer the only obstacle a student faces when considering their future. As generations come and go, universities have slowly, but surely, been angling their education in a way to favor profit over knowledge. Because of the new direction higher education models are taking, Magdalena Kay questions her readers, “is there a problem with students, with teachers, with administrators, or maybe
In his essay titled “Yes A College Education Is Worth the Costs,” published in USA Today, former president of Southern Virginia University and a law professor at Thomas Jefferson School of Law Rodney K. Smith, raises his concern about people willing to invest in material things rather than their future. By using the Bureau of Labor Statistics on the unemployed population to show that the unemployment rate is caused by the absences of graduates to satisfy the jobs in demand, he tries to convince the reader of the importance of education. As a 2010 report by the BLS indicates compared to 14.9% unemployed people without a high school diploma, only 1.9% graduates with a doctoral degree are unemployed. In addition, the average weekly income of a high school degree holder is 1106 less than a doctoral degree holder (qtd in Smith).
Many people throughout history have said more or less the same words in many different ways, from Presidents to philosophers, from dictators to martyrs, men all through history have come to the same conclusion; knowledge is power. The question of knowledge being equal to power is not the question that has so many people preoccupied in the current economic climate. That statement as fact has been branded into the minds of young people in America and all across the world for so many generations that the point seems hardly worth debate. Now the question has become, “Is knowledge money?” The cost of a college education has skyrocketed to the point that many would be students are asking themselves, is college worth the cost?
As the economy becomes more technologically complex, the amount of education that people need will rise. At some point, 15 years or 17 years of education will make more sense as a universal goal.” Education in our current society is a big part of every individual's future. Without a college education, there are countless of jobs that you can be left out of your reach. The higher education you have the better job you are open to and the less of an education you have the lower paying jobs you are allowed to have.
On the other side, the economy of Texas and Florida lost 33,000 jobs in September 2017, unemployment rates also dropped down to 4.2%. Unemployment situation is increasing seriously in America. Finding a job is so hard, and recruitment company always required their employees who have bachelor or master degree, they also compete each other for getting a job. The State Higher Education Executive Officers Association reported a high school degree earned a median average of $300,000 per year; nevertheless, bachelor’s degrees and advanced degrees earned from $50,000 to $70,000 a year. Therefore, if we don’t have a good education, our dream will be compromised. Furthermore, preparing a good education is the best investment because it helps us live out American Dream that is called a success and finance. America is developed country so education is a necessary factor for growing economies. Otherwise, a good education is known as our honor and outward appearance that give us more confident to contact with many people.

The United States is one of the leading nations in innovation, education, and quality of life.It is essential that its people be well educated problem solvers who are adequately prepared to make a “difference in the world(Roth)” and be able to project the “future results(Roth)” so that they might be able to further our nation. The U.S currently ranks as number fourteen in the world of education, leaving a large amount of room for improvement, and “given the pace of technological and societal
Most people in today’s society question our education system. Many people question education because for some it’s a good investment, and for others it’s a waste of time and money. Studies have shown that having a higher education will pay off in the long run, but some of the world’s richest people have never stepped foot into a college class.
One of Bauer’s many responsibilities is to run the iTEC summer camps which take place every year. Working hard to improve upon the summer camps, she uses outside influences like her nine year old son to help test activities to ensure that she can, not only help students with the
During this time and in this economy, graduate education seems to be very important in order for a person to be successful. Most of what a person does and uses is either made, designed, or taught by someone who has obtained a graduate degree: we ride in automobiles with systems designed by engineers having graduate degrees, send our children to schools where a growing number of teachers have graduate degrees, and go to movies with computer-generated special effects designed by people who have graduate degrees. Recent figures show that students enrolled in graduate education represent 3% of the students enrolled in all levels of U.S. education (Wendler, Bridgeman, Cline, Millett, Rock, Bell, & McAllister, 2010). It is critical to address and understand the value of graduate education: finding solutions to many of the greatest challenges facing this nation and the world in the 21st century, such as finding efficient alternative energy sources, will require individuals with graduate-level training (Uhalde, Strohl, & Simkins, 2006). Undergraduate education is important by providing students with foundational knowledge and work skills and offering college graduates a wide range of employment options, but graduate education goes beyond this by further developing critical thinking skills and producing innovators (Wendler et al., 2010). By providing students with the advanced knowledge and skills obtained through graduate education, our country’s future economic prosperity and
A debate on whether education is still the driving factor to success in the 21st century has been blooming for some time now which has many of us asking, “Is education still necessary for one to succeed nowadays?” This issue of whether education still holds that value of being the primary aspect of achieving success is of particular interest because it could mean that it could potentially create depreciation in the demand for education in the future, and money spent on acquiring an education could be used to pursue entrepreneurial ventures.
Economic realignment, evolution of technology, changing demographic trends and new ways of living and working are radically altering how education providers operate. These trends may be gradual but they are also powerful trajectories of change that have the potential to thrust education institutions, companies, governments and societies into freefall. The change heralded by these megatrends lies beyond our direct control but not beyond our influence. By getting a picture of how the world is changing and what these megatrends are, we can alter our destiny and remain viable and thrive in the future. Not only can we understand our market threats, but more importantly we can identify business opportunities and it is those institutions that recognise global trends and plan for a changing world that will be the market leaders of the future.
