In his article "For some, College not worth the
debt" Glenn Harlan Reynolds (2013) states that college is not worth the
amount of money and time as many people have different backgrounds, economic
status, and mindset. The main concept in today’s society is that college is for
everyone. Students applying to college should really think about the downsides
and upsides of college.
People that went to college often have a mixture of
imagination and memory. People who attended courses and acquired a job degree
often have positive memories about their college experiences. Other people who attended the same college
and courses have different opinions about their experiences.
Some people are very sociable and are able to make friends
that causes for memorable experiences. There is other people that don’t have
their life set up or planned yet. Thus, making it hard to focus on one major and
causing for their experience to be hectic. These people are stressed throughout
the year. Making it hard to be friendly and eventually leading towards
graduating with a lot of debt on the easiest degree. In other cases, some of
these people don’t graduate and are left with debt causing adulthood problems
that can interfere for the rest of their life.
People go to college to become financially stable and
prosper in life. Colleges rely on admittance of people with the same grades and
tests scores because the organization feels that these people have the same capabilities
and knowledge to prosper once they graduate.
People are the same educational wise but come from different backgrounds
causing for them to become liberated once they attend college. These highly
intellectual women start partying and lose their mindset on why they came to
college.
People who have money and come from a better background, are
most likely to get away with any party relative issue they might have. On the
other hand, the people who come from a poor background and start living the
party life, get problems that their not able to get away from. These problems
lead to not having impressive records and having a hard time acquiring their
dream job. Once graduated these people are also left with debt issues causing
for poverty. People who come from a poor background do the best when they
attend a non-party school.
The people with a poor background who choose to go to an expensive
college don’t come out with the results promised. People can agree that the
more expensive a product is, then it is expect ed have a higher quality. This
argument is made by parents whom feel their kids don’t get the necessary results
or education they paid for.
If you are father of
a student or a student who is planning to attend college, you should really
think about how college will benefit you in the future and why you want to
attend it. Also people should not follow
the trend of going to college as there’s different forms of acquiring money.
Colleges is not efficient for all forms of students. Students who come from a poverty household
come out with worst test results. This can be blamed on living a party life but
whatever it is, it shows that college is not teaching them anything and
therefore is a waste of time and money. The success in college can depend on
skills not many people have. Whether these skills is coming from a minority household, living a party life,
not having enough money, or just being plain and simple not ready for college.
Yes, although a low acquiring college degree is a credential
and you are seen as higher intellectual; college can be a waste of time and
money. In the future college degrees may not even matter anymore but rather be substituted
with people whom have skills and knowledge on certain situations.
These people are not based off of any grades but rather
their skills. As many people can have
skills but not the good grades. Society thinks that kids with a low GPA are not
ready for college and are often not given the chase to prove them wrong. Before
attending college and try to acquire a four year degree, you should really
think about the upsides and downsides of this long lasting investment. As
college is not for everyone since everyone is different and can have different
resources.
