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.
My oldest sister is now 24 years old, married, and a mother of a 1-year-old boy. When she graduated from Bravo Medical Magnet High School she found herself a job at Bank of America. During that time she felt that being in work was right for her because she was receiving money and wanted to buy a car. Her reason for stopping school was not because she wanted to be “freed” from it but because she believed working was a better path for her to take. My second oldest sister was never a big fan of school.
The Depression hit women, like other minority groups in American society, similarly harsh because of that payrolls of many communities and private companies were open only to males. The main role of women during the Great Depression was that of the homemaker. Some women had gone through college level education and, like their male counterparts, were having a difficult time of finding employment. Those with families had the task of keeping their family together, as the traditional view of motherhood role, when the principle moneymaker of the family was out of work. However, some women joined the work force and would do jobs that men previously had held.
During a talk at the annual awards conference, Burns talked about how her mother, who raised Ursula single, in one of the worst New York City Public Housing Projects, loved to give advice. Ursula was the middle sibling among three. Her father was not around, but her mother was a confident woman who always expected great things from her kids. She taught Ursula how to strive and move up. Her mom always knew her way around a good deal and therefore she hustled to put them in private school.
Also stated was that Presidents of colleges were being overpaid. They go on to say Colleges shouldn't have to pay more to get a qualified President to run their school. The President should be pleased with a modest salary and if they aren’t then they probably don't need to have the title anyhow. Another suggestion was that spin-off schools preoccupy faculties and school presidents. They state that it takes away the much needed attention

For example, I agree with Rose’s proposal that everyday you learn something new. It is possible to continue gaining new information but it is up to the worker or person to do so. In every situation that Rose described he explained that his mother and his uncle were keen on the idea of experiencing new people and learning how their minds worked. Both of his relatives had a passion for discovering how to better their careers and how to please their customers. It is true that employees working blue-collar jobs are stereotyped to have a lower IQ than those with actual professions; however, if a blue-collar employee does not care to further their education and does not want to learn than they will be fitting into that stereotype quite
However as good as all of that sounds, once again do not judge a book by its’ cover. A housekeeper working for UPMC and making $12.07 an hour claims some workers could not even afford college or to add money to the plans. The union’s campaign is to be seen as making incredible strides in helping their workers break the cycle of poverty and join the middle class.

A management work considers more of a doing paper work whereas labor work needs hand skills. I believe qualified workers worth going to college because they make more money in less period of time.

Welsh’s article discusses the difference between American students and Asian students. The Asian students identified that their biggest factor behind academic success was “studying hard”.

I believe that the problem behind American students not studying is solely due to the lack of determination to study and excel in schoolwork.
