John McKeown AP Language, Period G Ms. Hasebroock December 4, 2014 Pursuing a College Education: Is It Worth It? Due to some recent events in my life, I have been strongly contemplating on whether or not college is the right choice for me. My father went to college at St. Norbert College in DePere, Wisconsin and shortly after he received a job as a clerk at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. He slowly worked his way up to a trading position in the pit, which can be potentially very rewarding. When

At the age of five, I experienced my first dentistry. As they’d work on my teeth I would ask question like “What is that?”, “What does it do?” This experience did not only trigger my career goal but made me who I am. After my first experience I loved looking at people smile and going to the dentist every month. I was bullied at the age of six for this very reason. As I grew older I developed three missions in life. One, to finish school and earn my high school degree, two to start college , and

During the nineteenth century, Women began to have an important role in natural rights and female education. Dorothea Dix and Mary Lyons spent their life fighting to help better society. Dorothea Dix was tireless in exposing mistreatment of those who were diagnosed with mental illness or who were institutionalized in the 19th century. She helped effect change for thousands of people. Mary Lyon was a female educator. She founded Mount Holyoke College, the first women’s college. Dorothea Lynde Dix

Looking into Clinton’s plan and how it would evolve over the next five years, the themes of access and affordability shine through. She believes that all students should be able to obtain a public post-secondary education (Clinton on the Issues: College, 2016). The current truth is that “access and success in higher education continue to be stratified according to income…” (Eckel & King, 2004). With Clinton’s plan access would increase, and with that enrollment would increase. Increased enrollment

The amount of money spent in one year of college can break someone’s heart. For most people college gets them to where they want to be in life, but with hard work and dedication going to work right after high school can take you a long way. Getting out of high school and starting a career early might be what some people want, but college is always an option with all the help we have today. With whatever decision people take in life, I believe they need to love their job. At that point in their career

Many college athletes have a dream of becoming a professional athlete. In most countries, especially in Europe, athletes are club players who move from amateur to professional status at a young age. Some drop out of school as young as 14 years of age to play sports professionally, while others finish school in Europe and attend college in the United States to play at a university. The United States is one of the few countries worldwide to emphasize education before professional sports. In fact

In the past, the majority of people never thought that they had to obtain a college degree to become successful. Nowadays, a college degree is the most crucial item sought after by employers and is necessary to become successful. It is easy to think that it is a piece of cake to be successful without a college education. I mean Bill Gates, Will Smith, Abraham Lincoln, and Henry Ford were all very successful. However, that was years ago and the age of college dropouts are over.  There is no denying

The purpose of this action plan is to ensure that girls around the nation are provided with better education opportunities. And ensure that education is available, accessible, acceptable and adaptable as stated in the 4a framework. In 2005 the world missed the first target agreed within the framework for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs): to eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education by that year. (ANON, 2017) With this plan of action, we can turn that around. In order to

Imagine a store only sold two sizes of the new shirt you wanted. In today's society that is the perfectly painted picture on college education. College has become an option, a granted privilege, and no longer a necessity. Jobs such as small business owners, Web developers, and Wind Turbine Technician no longer require a college degree. College education is still worth it because college, ¨encourages students to think, ask questions, and explore new ideas, which allows for additional growth and development

The question here is, is college worth it? Many people question this especially high school students who are about to graduate. This debate is still taking place today. The common misunderstood saying is, if you have a degree you will then have a good job. But this is not the case because in today’s society there are so many people with degrees who still cannot find a job. The rate of unemployment is increasing rapidly on a yearly basis. High school students see it this way, if I can’t find a job
