Why People Should Go To College

I have so many reason why I wanted to attend DCCC and each decision that I make at DCCC is that I’m gonna face it till the very end of my courses. I always wonder how can I get a step further in life and how can I get my stuff done and start early and there was an option that was given to me in my 8th grade year and it was a sign up for an orientation for Yadkin Valley Regional Career Academy a school where you can learn how to start you career and be professional looking/acting when applying for a job that suit you better. I came to Yadkin Valley for orientation where you can check the school out, but I had a little problem I didn’t have my glasses so couldn’t really see how the school look because my eyes were blurry, but I notice that I really didn’t need to see just listen to the teachers and how they talk and communicate and how they tell us what we be learning and discover while we are here at Yadkin Valley and what they have in store for us and then I heard a

Students often leave high school with the mentality that they must enter a college. However, in the book, Is College Worth It?, by William J. Bennett and David Wilezol debates the positive and negative aspects of attending college. It is not known which was the first university to appear in the United States, but the most notorious college to be established in the 1600s was Harvard University. Since the 1600s, colleges have only been increasing in an abundant of states in the United States. Unfortunately, Bennett and Wilezol, first two chapters introduce the negative aspects of college; and, chapters three and four are universal arguments that go against each other. The final chapter reveals the author's opinion on colleges.

I can’t believe it! I graduated college with my dream job and I am making $150,000 a year! I am so glad that I made the choice to continue my college education. Paying for school was rough and accepting loans for large amounts had me feeling a little apprehensive, but I made it. I finally graduated college, landed my dream job and now paying back the loans will not be a problem. This is my goal, I will be saying this in the next few years. I originally questioned whether college was worth it, my time and money that is. After thorough research I finally came to the conclusion that college is indeed worth it.

Right now in our society a college education is no longer an option or privilege, but rather a necessity. We were practically raised and conditioned to believe that we need a higher education in order to succeed in life. As opposed to generations of the past, high school students today are unable to obtain the number of high paying jobs that were once available. In the post War 1 era, the city of New York provided a free quality college education to many working class people (including immigrants) at the time when they were effectively barred from attending most colleges. Harvard College was founded in 1636, the history of higher education has been closely intertwined with the history of the United States economically, socially, and culturally. Both have generally been associated with expanding opportunity but as college and

As we know the average individual will attend college for a particular reason, either a family tradition or a lifelong goal, but for most part the reason is for a better life. A majority of people attend a college to obtain a degree or training to become specialist in a certain field or profession, in fact enrollment in college skyrockets when struggling economy. With the shutdown of Internet startups and a slowdown in the economy, a glut of people with experience in high-tech industries is competing for available jobs, leaving fewer opportunities for recent graduates (Perlman). With the current job market being saturated with people who have the same degree competing for the lesser number of jobs, this would only worsen future matters if

I do not want statistics to define me. I remember reading that in 1999, it was found that 82% of students whose parents had a bachelor’s degree immediately enrolled in college. On the other hand, only 54% of students whose parents did not attend college immediately enrolled in college. Neither of my parents went to college, so I fall into the 54%. When I read that statistic, it gravely angered me. I was determined to be more than just a statistic that was left behind and did not attend college because the odds were against me. So, I worked and worked all through my schooling career to become the best possible student I could be regardless of the “potential” difference between my other classmates who come from more “educated” households and

Many people choose not to attend college. I believe that not attending college is probably one of the most irresponsible decisions a person can make. When graduated making the decision to work at a dead end job forever or attend college, college is a pretty obvious choice. The reason I want to go to college is so I can have my dream job instead of a job I do not like, so I will never have to struggle as a result of skipping college and because I believe my college experience will have a tremendous impact on my life.

I have decided to attend college so I can further my education and constitute something out of myself when I become older also so my future will be brighter and guarantee a great chance in providing for myself. Another reason why I have chosen to attend college is because my parents has set a the bar that college is a must. Individuals with degrees have a higher chance at getting a job than someone who doesn’t have one. Many people who have chosen not to attend college consequently, a difficult time finding employment or obtaining a job with higher wages. My decision of Belmont Abbey was chosen as a result of its location being close to home also the fact that my father is an alumni of Belmont Abbey College therefore I feel that the experience

Now a days there’s a lot of pressure for high school graduates to further their education by attending college. Hard evidence states that more high school graduates attend college immediately after graduation compared to any other generation. However, college may seem more of a challenge to some rather than others whom may “need” vocational school. Getting an education is important but some say college isn’t for everyone. In the article “What’s Wrong with Vocational School?” Charles Murray says that not every student is mentally suitable for college and vocational school would prepare them for the vigorous academic demands that come along with college. To critically analyze if this argument is effective

Education is the reason students attend college, but the reason people enjoy college is not usually the education they receive rather it is the once in a lifetime experience they have.

There are many reasons people attend college. Some people attend because they are expected to, either by their culture, their family or peer pressure. Other people have a desire to continue learning and want to go to college and still others do not know what they want to do with their life so they decide to attend college to explore their options. I choose to attend college right out of high school, but now 30 years later I am back. This time I am back in college because I work in an environment where I have been bullied to the point that I have no confidence in myself. I am back to prove something to myself.

If you ask high school students what the next step is after high school, a majority of them will reply to you with the answer, “College.” Now with that said, ask them, “Why will you be attending college?” Some may answer because they want to extend their education further or so they are able to achieve a higher paying occupation. Others may respond with “Because my parents did, so I am.” In Souls Without Longing, Robert C. Bartlett argues that attending college is part of the “American Dream;” whereas in Degrees Widen the Gap, Stuart Tannock implies that a majority of the students attend college because they want to be on the upper end of the wage gap. Is college only known as the “American dream” or is it just to get to the higher end of

choice. One could calmly finish high school and continue life by getting a job. However,

My reason for going to college is to grow academically and holistically as an individual.From creative writing to the athletics to women’s rights I wish to fully engrain myself in the St. Petersburg/ Tampa Bay area and be an extension of USF St. Petersburg. My ambitions in high school will only get bigger in college. I find that I have a wide array of interests from my “Mary Poppins bag of endless possibility”. I am enthusiastic to get an involved with the local YWCA and Women Empowerment Club on campus to get in touch with girls of today and provide them with a mentor who says they can do anything they want in this world. I’d also like to continue also working with young kids at a local soccer club. This year, I started being a coach for

Students go to college seems to be as a matter of course; however, I study in college for a specical reason. I want to go futher which means I have to learn more no matter in my origional subject or other work-related skills. College is a proper choice to shrapen myself. Life without parents and a totally unfamiliar city will make me be become stronger and more independent than before. I will meet difficulties and setbacks which is tough but let me grow up. In breif, I believe that go to college is absolutely indispensible experience for me and I will be more mature through my college years.
