The Damned If I Do Damned

Many jobs that one would get right out of high school are usually labor intensive or just not ideal conditions. These jobs include being the grunt worker for a construction company, working on a farm, or being a janitor. These job might not be terrible, but someone who does these would eventually become tired of their working environment. Having a college degree will typically end in having a more enjoyable job. Jobs like teaching, nursing, engineering, and accounting are all professions that require some sort of college degree and are considered nicer jobs with a better work environment. College will help students get a better job, but it will also make that student more prepared for adult

Knowledge is something that helps us with our everyday lives. We as human beings, need to learn and gain knowledge because it can help us with every situation that occurs. Knowledge is always good. There are also some down sides to learning as well. For one thing, knowledge can make people feel good about yourself, it can teach people to prevent negative events, and it can affect your future.

How is KNOWLEDGE power? or how do we benefit from ideas and learning different points of view? Knowledge is power, awareness, understanding of how things or someone works. Knowledge is facts of what we believe or think, is the skill we learn and knowledge is the acknowledge of humankind. Without knowledge we would still be stuck in the 100 century and most of us wouldn’t live for as long as we get to live today or even live to see people on a screen for hours. Anyway knowledge benefit us in many different ways.

I think everyone should get at least some education after high school. Three main reasons why you should go to college after high school is first you more professional when applying for a job, next you can meet more people and socialize, lastly is self discovery.

“In the United States today, there is no more certain investment than a college education”(Carnevale and Melton). Education has always been a major component of American society. One can only go so far without an education, and the more education and knowledge someone has, the better their chances of being successful. Some people believe a high school education is enough, and it is, enough to land a job at a fast food restaurant. I speculate they feel this way because they feel school is not for them, or maybe they just do not want to go far in life. To get far in life people must go above and beyond, and learn things that others do not know to make them

    After high school students have the opportunity to attend a college. Today, it seems like fewer people go to college. People will say “It’s too expensive or I don’t have the time” however that's just not the case, in my opinion, college is worth it because if someone is seeking a long-term job with security, mobility, and pay increase must attend college. Having the degree is better than not having one at all.

Going to college has been taught to be the next step in education after graduating high

Not too many years ago, even high school was considered un-useful, but as todays economy continues to go up, the more school becomes valuable. Even thirteen years of education is not enough for todays standards, as it continues to become more of a “technology advanced” world the more years in college will be suggested to be “well-off”, even not going to college can cost you, as New York Times article by Kaufman reads “Not going to college can cost you up to half a million dollars”. Therefore, the fact of it all is the economy is going to force us to go to college so we can make a living and be considered to standard, and for this to be achieved 16 or more years of school will be necessary. Yet, from the average person, this seems to only fix a minor percentage of issues we all

About a generation ago getting a college education was born out of the pursuit of knowledge, but now it has become a competition for students to get into the most accredited University right after they are handed their high school diploma. College tuition has become so expensive in the last ten years that people are now debating whether or not college it is worth pursuing right out of high school. A college education is what the student makes out of it, and if they 're only going to get a degree it is important to know that a college education does not guarantee a job and stable future. The majority of young adults at the end of high school don 't even know what career they want to pursue because of the restricting high school curriculum, so to remedy this people should consider community college or taking a gap year. Whether or not to get a college education depends on what the person wants to do. Four year college should not be the default after finishing high school in America.

Great emphasis is placed on obtaining a a degree from a higher university. When you go to apply for jobs nowadays, you need an associates or a bachelors just to get your foot in the door unlike how the job world once was years ago. As a student currently enrolled at a traditional 4 year university, I knew that this was where I needed to be in High school in order have the fighting opportunity in my dream career. A lot of students are told that in order to receive a fat check in their career, you need a college degree, so then they push students in high school to take the SAT and ACT, and to focus maintaining a high GPA so that the door to a seat at a top university can be filled by them. With that being said, I’ve come to the realization that not everyone is set-up to have the opportunity to achieve these goals.

College is the best way for success and today’s day and age. A high school doesn’t just cut it anymore. Jobs are looking for a high school diploma and some form of college educations, but that is are to find when college costs too much for students to handle. There are students that do manage to succeed through the costs and the hair pulling out of schooling, but for the select few that don’t is solidly basing this argument. College should provide a place in the work force for everyone and anyone willing to pay the money to attend. Most

“Leon Lefkowitz, chairman of the department of social studies at Dental High School in Valley Steam, New York, interviewed 300 college students at random and 200 of them didn’t think that the education they were getting was worth the effort.” (Bird 220). The idea of continuing education after graduating high school can be very questionable for some students. Many students side with Caroline Bird and her theory that education serves very little purpose in the job market in her essay “College Is a Waste of Time and Money”. But inevitably, students believe that post-secondary education is beneficial in their careers which are the views of Martin Luther King in his essay and article “The Purpose of Education”. In my own views, depending on the field you are getting into, post-secondary education is not needed to establish a successful career. Students should not think they will guarantee themselves their dream job if they decide to continue post-secondary education.

I know people who think that school is everything and that they need to over achieve in everything, but in reality, you can get some very good jobs without even finishing high school. For example, one of my friends did not finish high school, has a full time job that pays

The importance of knowledge imbues me to be passionate and motivates me to pursue my inquisitiveness. I’m studious; I enjoy absorbing information because I find it riveting. Knowledge is what you structure it to be. Knowledge can be a tool to comprehend the world, innovate and succor people. Not only does education bestow prowess, it also gives the freedom to choose a path to follow. Through education, we can choose to become doctors, lawyers, or professors.

Once highschool ends, you will think you are already done with school, and you can finally be free, and you are kind of right.

By going to college, you will earn more, be more employable due to your accumulation of knowledge, and you will live a healthier life. College is not for everyone, but if you prefer a secure future then it is suggested to go to college. By pursuing business without a college degree, you could lose all your money and everything you have worked for at any moment if you are not cautious. With a college degree, you can earn a decent salary with a secure job.
