    College and postsecondary education are a vital part of the education system that in recent years has become a preliminary requisite for obtaining a job. Because of this, there are less qualified applicants for jobs than ever before. In his essay “On ‘Real Education’”, Robert T. Perry refutes some of Charles Murray’s ideas and effectively convinces the reader that this country needs more college graduates to fill new jobs and support the growing knowledge economy. Perry achieves this by employing appeals to the reader’s emotions and logic, as well as utilizing hard data gathered as a comparison of leading nations around the world and in his home state of South Dakota.…

    In this article, Strom and Strom describe the implications and methodologies for increasing college graduation rates and improving attainability for future students who have the desire to attend college. The authors outline previously completed research studies focusing on reasons for students dropping out of college; the importance of community college; and how parents, students, faculty, and higher education administrators could increase the overall quality of a college education. The study concludes that the failure to raise graduation rates will cause income disparities among young adults and the economy as a whole will suffer due to the lack of an educated/talented workforce. Above all, the information noted compares to a diverse range…

    This means that families across the nation believe there is significant value to a higher education, but struggle to afford the ever-increasing price tag. These findings are troubling to say the least, particularly when viewing the trend of cost increases and the number of families who, though they believe postsecondary education in growing increasingly important, are priced out of the college market. A May 2002 report entitled The Affordability of Higher Education: A Review of Recent Survey Research 2 from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education helps shed light on public opinion surrounding both the importance and affordability of higher education. Excerpts and findings from the report follow. The Importance of Higher Education “In the view of most Americans, a college education has now taken on the importance that a high school education had in the past, and has become a necessary ingredient for a good job and comfortable lifestyle. This value is shared even more widely among African-American and Hispanic parents.” • 84 percent of those surveyed say that it is extremely or very important to have a college degree, and 77 percent say that getting a college education today is more important than it was ten years…

    Many people can agree that with a good education, you can save yourself from working at a job that has a lot of hard labor, and can give yourself a career that you have always dreamed of having. In order to get a great education and relieve yourself from a job one wouldn’t want to have, one must attend a good school that is well operated, such in the way that they teach the right materials, and is properly funded so one can get the most out of the learning experience. Some schools may be funded differently because of their location and previous history on academics. Here in America, many schools are different from those from other countries. Authors such as Eleanor J. Bader, Jonathan Kozol, and Anu Partanen address issues about students and…

    The higher education system in America has become an expectation, and an apparent necessity, for those looking to achieve success in the work force. Young adults' mentors, including teachers, counselors, and parents, urge students to attend college after the competition of high school, no matter the circumstances. In his work, "Are Too Many People Going to College", Charles Murray brings this system of postsecondary education under question, analyzing the problems within our society that have grown from the high importance placed on earning a college degree.…

    In society today, a college degree and education is no longer considered an option for further education, but rather a necessity for a supposedly a superior job. College is investment of funds and time. College causes student loan debt and many college graduates become employed in professions that do not require a degree. In the 1980’s, bachelor’s degrees earnings and the earnings of high school graduates were nearly equivalent, likely causing the pressure families put on their children to go to college. According to the statistics of Business Insider, the financial return of college graduates is higher than the earnings made with a bachelor’s degree.…

    “In California, 260,000 college graduates under the age of 30 are working in low paying jobs...gone to high school graduates and dropouts such as food services, retail sales, and clerical work.” Larry Cuban, a former high school teacher and 20 years as a professor at Stanford University, was partially persuasive on the idea that “everyone” shouldn’t go to college. High schools now have integrated pathways in technology and medical programs, which prepare students for middle-class jobs, by experience in early programs in high school. James Kemple, the Executive Director of the Research Alliance for NYC schools, ”.. Found that those students in career academies..who completed these programs earned more money than those who were in non-academy programs.” Cuban makes a point, academic programs are efficient because programs in Career and Technical Education (CTE) help students gain experience and prepare students for jobs that are rising in the career world. CTE programs help students from poor backgrounds and young adults to achieve skills needed in…

    My whole life I have heard it said that going to college is a must to survive in the economy and live a successful life, but is that true? Recent events beg to differ as seen in a Newsweek article where they quoted a professor at Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce, Anthony Carnevale, saying college graduates make up almost “40 percent of the unemployed in the U.S.”. This example forms just one argument that I will use, along with the price that college demands for its services and its uselessness in fields of employment, to convince you that college isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be.…

    “It’s a tough job market for college graduates, but far worse for those without a college education,” says Anthony P. Carnevale co-author of the study conducted at Georgetown University’s Center of Education and the Work Force. During the Great Recession in 2007, Millions of jobs vanished from the job market, but students with bachelors degrees who had jobs did not decline (International Business, Times). At the same time, the 55 percent of high school graduates who did have jobs even before the recession, fell to 47 percent after it (Perez-Pena Richard). As if people without a college education didn’t have it hard enough already. Now the amount of jobs that require a college education is on the rise, while people without a college education are being left in the…

    The United States of America is one of, if not the most powerful country on this planet. Built over two-hundred years ago, with a foundation of liberty and justice, an influential democratic government, and a forceful military with the world's largest Air Force, the United States truly is a force to be reckoned with. However, The US is deprived of the greatest we have in this world; education. In the world we live in, education is everything, success is rarely found without it.
