Trade School Advantages

Having free tuition for college means that more people who cannot afford it now, would end up going. This is a good thing in terms that more people are getting a good education and continuing their educational careers to hopefully obtain good job, but it also decrease the value of a college education. If more people are able to earn degrees, it devalues them. Finding jobs even with their qualifications would be difficult (Should college be free?). This idea would also apply to the students, mainly student-athletes, that work for multiple years to try to perfect their skill and obtain full or half scholarship.

Paying these athletes will make them stay in school longer, educate them and give them a chance to enjoy college before the real-world hits. Even with this people may say why pay these students who carry a 1.0 GPA? That is a very valid point, so if student athletes do get paid in the future there should be some type of rule or something that the players can only get paid if they are meeting a certain GPA. This will keep the players hungry and eager to keep working hard knowing that there is a reward at the end of the

In the world we live in today. Going to college is no longer a choice, or privilege, but rather a need for a brighter future . So the big question that happens to be going around is, “Is College really worth it?”According to Andrew J. Rotherham’s article “Actually, college is very much worth it.”, “5 Ways Ed Pays”produced by (The College board), and “Why College Isn't (And Shouldn’t have to be) For Everyone” written by Robert Reich. The answer to that question is yes.

College is one of the most significant times in a person’s life. Every year high school kids will visit many different colleges so that they can be confident in their college decision. Some kids will follow in their parent’s foot steps and base their decision on where their mom or dad went, though, not all kids are fortunate to have help from their parents. Many kids nowadays may be the first in their family to take on higher education. The article, “First Generation College Students: Unprepared and Behind” by Liz Riggs explains that kids who are the first in their family to take on college are at a disadvantage compared to kids with parents who attended college.

As Stephanie Owen and Isabel Sawhill state in their paper “Should Everyone Go to College?” , “study after study reminds us that higher education is is one of the best investments we can make and President Obama has called it ‘an economic imperative’” (208). Time after time the youth are being doctrinated that attending college is best investment that one can make for their future. Studies done have proven that attending college not only open opportunities but that they also offer social benefits.

I recently read an essay called “Should Everyone Go to College?” by Stephanie Owen and Isabel Sawhill who write a great argument stating that going to college should depend on the situation instead of stating that everyone should go to college. Stephanie and Isabel go over the rate of return on education through graphs and statistics that show that those that go to college are often time more successful than those that go straight into a career. However, going to college should be dependent on the chosen career path more than anything else because some career paths do not require a college education. Also, the rate of return is a big thing to think about before committing to going to college because paying for college to go into a career that

The point of textbooks are to educate students, not the worth of the book(s). The average student will eventually owe a whopping $30,000 in loans by the end of a 4 year college education (PetitionBuzz). This $30,000 debt typically requires approximately 21 years to completely diminish.

When that one person doesn’t go to college, they will get an entry level job that can give them valuable skills to take into life. The non-graduates of college will learn important people skills that will guide them if they would want to go get a more advanced job. A lot of these skills, people learn in college. Because of that, people can get these skills for almost free. Lastly, the skills are lessons that people learn from parents and other parent figures in life.

Throughout the essay, Charles Murray stresses the idea that college is the wonderland of finding oneself and to find the career that one would want to follow for the rest of their lives. “College is seen as the open sesame to a good job and a desirable way for adolescents to transition to adulthood. Neither reason is as persuasive as it first appears.” Murray, C (2008) Practically spoken, this is not normally the case. College is a fair amount of work, much more work than one would normally acquire through any course of a high school or secondary school setting.

Students want to get paid and get a job, but when their boss sees that they will not be able to work that much because they will be in school, the students are less likely to get hired. When people do year round schooling it can be hard to schedule school events in the summer when kids play the most sports. Band and other extracurricular programs suffer from problems with scheduling out-of-school practices and competitions (“Research Spotlight on Year-Round Education”). In the summer when things get

In my intermediate family not everyone went to college and today they still struggle to find a job that pays them well and can finance them for the things they wish to have. Where my eldest aunt went to college and earned her master’s degree and worked a job she loved that payed well and gave her the opportunity to live happy and comfortably. College does not prepare you for a life of bills and credit but it does prepare you for the profession you are aiming

Most students are eager to leave home immediately after graduating high school. However, the reality is, most students aren’t ready to start at a four-year university. Community college is an easy way to obtain basic classes for less money, give students who aren’t ready to leave home a chance to become independent while still living at home, and for those who are first generation college students make the transition easier while allowing the same students to figure out whether or not a university will be a good next step. According to College Atlas, Money is the number one reason high school graduates don’t end up furthering their education.

So the question being asked is: “Do you think there is a need for all high school graduates to attend college?” My answer to that question is no. There are many reasons and valid explanations as to why. First off, not every job and career out there requires a college education after high school. It would most certainly benefit you greatly in the long run but it is possible to live a successful life without it.

From the time we start our careers as students in school, we are told that in order to gains success in life we must attend college. That after high school, college is no doubt the next step we should be taking. Yet, for most students that are not wealthy this goal is almost unattainable. If the majority of students can’t afford tuition, then why is the tuition rate so high? Its certainly not an accident.

The first reason college should be free is, that people won’t worry about paying when they’re not given a scholarship. There are several people who don’t even go to college and end up starting up their own businesses because they know what they’d go through and they couldn’t pay. They
