If that happens then you might have to take whatever class could not transfer over at a university for more money. Be sure to find a good advisor to make the chances of a nightmare happening slim to none. Unfortunately you do not get a bachelor’s degree from a community college. Some say community colleges have limited curriculum. (Pros and Cons, 2012) For high school graduates, commuting from home appears to them as a disadvantage.
Murray and Ungar Synthesis In the many recent debates about how to approach higher education, one issue that has constantly appears is the question of students benefiting from a liberal arts based education. Some argue that a liberal arts education is helpful in teaching students the basic life skills, others claim that a more specific field of study is necessary in order to b successful in life. In Ungar’s essay “the New Liberal Arts”, he claims that with a liberal arts education, students can benefit tremendously when they receive their jobs. In Murray’s essay “Are Too Many People Going to College”, he proclaims that a liberal arts degree is not highly recommended because the more difficult careers want students to take classes that are more specific to a job. Sanford J. Ungar and Charles Murray both conduct and display their own opinion towards the facts they learned through their own strenuous research.
Should the school leavening age be raised to 18? , for example you may think that people want to get out and earn money after they have done there GCSE’s ,but other people may think that you should stay in school and get A levels etc. My personal opinion is that people should still be allowed to leave school at the age of 16 but others can stay at school until the age of 18. I think if everybody had to stay in school until the age of 18 there would be a lot of problems like the pupils with po This argument is a hard one to decide on unless you have very strong points about being for or against or attitude may disrupt learning and some people would want to get of and earn money so they would skip lessons etc. The reasons why it should be raised to the age of eighteen are that a lot of people who did not get so much luck in there GCSE’s would get more opportunity to learn and get better results.
He goes on to say in the second misperception, “college graduates are finding it harder to get good jobs with liberal arts degrees”, but “the recession has no differentiated among major fields of study in its impact” (192). Ungar believes students who focus on one particular field of study do not learn necessities such as writing and literary texts, and this puts them at a disadvantage when compared to a liberal arts graduate. While long-standing jobs, such as doctors and lawyers, will not become extinct soon, liberal arts graduates have a better chance of employment in most areas. 95% of employers surveyed would give hiring preference to graduates with skills to contribute in the workplace. 74% would recommend a liberal arts education to a young person they know today, so they will be prepared for success in today’s global economy.
explain the post -16 options for young people and adults Explain the post 16 opons for young people and adults The opportunities for pupils aged 16 and over has traditionally been either to leave school and start employment or to stay and continue with their education. Although many pupils do still choose one of these options, there is now more opportunities available as there has been an increased government focus on education for post 16 year old's in particular a focus on reducing the number of young people not in education, employment or training. The government is in the process of increasing the age to which all young people in England must continue in education or training. Since 2013 all young people have been required to continue in education or training untill they turn 17 years of age this will increase to 18 years of age by 2015. The goverment are focusing on post 16 options because they want to increase the quality of education available and ensure that all young people have the tools and opportunities they need to fulfil their potential so they are prepared for further education and work regardles of their background or life circumstances.
With the rapid growing in global competition and globalization, it is harder for people who do not have four year degree to find job because corporations nowadays are off shoring their productions as well as their companies outside of the country for cheaper labor, higher skilled workers, and lower overhead cost. Therefore, the demand in job goes up a lot higher in the past few years. It makes us realize the important of four year college degree. However, there is a small percentage of students who actually earn a four year degree. In the article “What’s Wrong With Vocational School” written by Charles Murray, he gives his opinion about the unnecessary of four year college’s program compares to vocational training.
The passage of the “Pick the Public’s Pocket No More” bill would lower college application rates, lower college graduation rates, and lower our country’s number of new college graduates for open positions in the work force. Without grants, many Americans would not be able to pursue college degrees because of the debt they would acquire financing their degree with loans alone. Federal grants allow young adults, who are the future of our country, to pursue a college degree without the full burden of college debts after graduation. (M) When considering whether or not to pursue a degree, many are persuaded to apply because they often receive grants to assist
Mollie Russell Jan. 26 2015 ENG101 How do you feel about Obama proposing that students should have the opportunity to attend community college for free for two years? I feel that this is a very controversial topic and it can go either way. In my opinion, having free community college for students is a good opportunity, but there need to be certain requirements for these students. People can take advantage of this, and by having requirements it stops people from doing that. I have four requirements that need to be met including, 3.0 GPA or higher, 18 or higher on the ACT, 95% attendance, and a high school diploma.
This is due to parents that can easily afford to spend thousands of dollars out of pocket for a four year degree. In the lower income areas, these graduates do not have the funds or opportunities of their counterparts. Their parents may not have attended college; therefore the students may have never been taught the importance of a higher education to better themselves in life. The military is a more viable option for them. They will have the opportunity to have their education paid for, understand the importance of education, and possibly learn a valuable skill while being able to serve their country.
For example, many of us weren’t really use to studying during high school, mainly because it was so unchallenging. But through college you are going to have to make some changes in your life. You are going to take those classes that require memorizing long formulas and theories, and that will take more of your time. During the process of college you are going to have to learn how to take care of yourself regardless of your parent’s being there for you or not. Responsibility will play a big role during this time of your life.
