Surely, something that glorified must be worth it in the end, but when comparing it to a community college, it does not add up. The cost is more than double at a four-year college as opposed to community college. In the first two years, one will be taking many classes that are required of both schools, but easily transferrable from one to the other. Not to mention the egos behind the systems that runs these schools. The professors at four-year colleges consider themselves as high as they can get in their career.
Samantha Gomez Professor Pinto ENGW 1101 September 14, 2011 Hard Work Pays Off Due to the lack of the economical strength in America at this time, a college education can help individuals obtain better jobs despite the inconvenient cost of college expenses. Over the years, a college education has become a necessity for obtaining a good, steady, well-paying job. Making a bachelor’s degree a requirement for jobs is important because it requires students to challenge their intellectual ability, allows them to obtain a well-paying job and becomes very beneficial for their future. Jobs that require a minimum of a bachelor’s degree for hiring keep students more engaged and shows their true desire to succeed. Students with a college education
But the major isn’t nearly as important as the toolbox of skills you come out with and the experiences you have’”(Zernike). Students are increasingly focused on how their major will translate into a job. Zernike interviews multiple professors and advisors from schools all over the country and somewhat of a consensus is found. Taking ‘abstract’ courses and getting involved with different things other than having a set major will lead to more ‘self-discovery’. “I think people change a great deal between 18 and 22” – Dr. Neuhauser, president of St. Michael’s College.
It's easier to focus when there are only 20 people in one class rather then 60 people. There are many students who need face to face time with their professor especially the first two years of college, and community colleges make it so much easier to do so. In conclusion, community college is the way to go. The cost is reduced dramatically, if a student isn't too sure of what they want to be, it wouldn't harm their wallet as nearly as bad as a university would, and the class sizes are incredibly smaller so it would be much easier to focus and seek the help you need when you need it. Although many people want to experience living on campus at a big name university, community colleges provide better opportunities without costing a fortune.
Living in Harrison and hanging out all over Westchester you see that there is a lot of money going around. Being said this creates a better environment for everyone who attends the school. Especially with the greater wealth around the campus this creates a better campus with higher paid teachers and better technology resources than other schools. The third reason why community colleges are very beneficial is that it creates opportunities for people who are less financially sound. Coming from my own home my parents didn’t have enough money to put me through a big time college right now and rather than spending fifty thousand a year I’m only spending about two thousand.
Using a leisure market of your choice, discuss the extent to which it may be considered to be an oligopoly. An oligopoly is a market that is dominated by a few firms who have a high concentration ratio. Oligopolies frequently maintain their positon of dominance in a market because it is too costly for potential firms to enter the market. This is called barrier to entry, and due to this they can earn supernormal profits (see figure) as they can protect themselves from competition in the long run. For the cinema market building something which can seat enough people with the right equipment (e.g.
While many people believe that University is the better choice, Community Colleges tend to have fewer students per class, which means closer relationships and more student/teacher interaction. Fewer student to teacher ratio means more one on one time with the student and teacher, which enhances student learning. It additionally means more recognition per student and individual teaching. At Universities there is much less one on one time. Classrooms and lecture halls are filled to capacity with hundreds of students per one teacher.
“Recruited athletes, alumni children, faculty children, members of historically underrepresented minority groups, and ‘development cases’ have an advantage, and by the time they have all been accounted for, the number of slots remaining can be extremely small compared with the ever-growing applicant pool” (Delbanco 117). This is the popular process that most colleges and universities, private or public, go through. In their attempt to get the brightest and most diversified students, Ivy Leagues especially tend to dismiss low income students in exchange for students with legacies and family names that can bring them money. Those students may not be as promising for the schools academics but most promising for the schools name. This is how the unfair divide in the Ivy League universities works and the process does not seem to be changing anytime soon.
College is expensive and what one receives in return is not enough. What some graduates get is huge debt, and, for those whoearn their degree, a slip of paper they do not know how to use to get a job. But the pundits are wrong; for most students, the benefits of college will outweigh the costs. First, when considering the immediate costs of college tuition, the price has not grown to become unmanageable. The published tuition and fees is actually way more than the students end up paying to their universities.
While many people in the United States look for higher education after high school, financial barriers are in the way for a lot of these students due to rising college tuition costs. Although these high prices are seen as a negative by most, arguments have been made that they may actually be a good thing. Some say the higher price tag forces (potential) students to not take their education for granted. The opposing side responds with statements saying a lot of people aren’t given a chance and these prices are to far out of their reach. The bottom line is that the high and rising cost of college isn’t a good thing and reduces the amount of qualified workers.
