Living in a dorm vs. a commuter Living in a dorm was an experience that I always wanted to encounter. Students have the opportunity to live on campus and learn how to be responsible on their own. They are away from family and friends, its new and exciting at times. Commuting to school can be nice because students can be home with family and friends. Students are able to do much more because they are home and not living on campus where there are a lot of rules.
Chasing The American Dream For a long time, people have been migrating to America for the chance to find new opportunities. The United States is said to be the land of the free. It is seen as a country where citizens can choose their own path and create their own wealth. The opportunities are endless, which drives immigrants to this country. Everyone wants to live the “American Dream.” This is the idea is what drove Sam Zemurray to America.
Although college is supposed to be used to help us prepare for our future careers and lives, many people get a lot of different life lessons out of it and in a way that is just as good as receiving their education. We as people do not all function the same way, so college works in different ways for all of us. I have had a chance to witness this on a personal level with two of my cousins. For one of my cousins’ college turned out to be a good
A major key to their use is the breakdown of people skills and/or equipment type—for example, mechanical, civil, electrical engineers. Unfortunately, there is a tradeoff. The larger the classification, the less discriminate the heuristic is in selecting the “right” people for projects. If the classification is more detailed, the heuristics will do a better job of selecting, but project delays (because of required resources) will likely be increased. The better software companies have built in flexibility for assigning people to projects.
One of the challenges faced by the mature student is financing their education; this is probably one of the biggest considerations to be made. Traditional college students tend to only have to provide for themselves, and many have assistance from family or even still live at home. While your non-traditional student many times have other responsibilities, including homes, jobs, children or even parents to consider when making the financial decisions on
Growing up, my mom pretty much told me that if I was not joining the military then I was for sure going to college. And I was okay with that. I knew that going to college would give me a better job so I could maintain a stable lifestyle; but that’s the thing, it never crossed my mind that I need to go to college for a better education. In today’s society, in order for people to have a good job outside of professional sports, music entertainment, and military, they have to have a college education in order for them to maintain a decent job. So far into my college experience, I can tell that some of my classmates and peers have that mindset.
Freedom is the main difference between high school and college but, classes, teachers, social aspects and costs are the major ways that college differs from high school. In high school, your teachers tell you what to do and how to act in school but, at home you have your parents who generally make sure that you did your homework and studied for tests. Your time was pretty much managed for you. In college you are on your own, being responsible is just one of the many qualities a student should have to maintain progress. As far as being mature and determined.
Although many jobs require advanced skills, some jobs now are de-skilled due to the technological revolution in the workplace. According to Roberts (2004) in the past, shopkeepers had to have math skills to be able to sell the product, but now with the use of electronic cash registers, they do not need to have this skill. Moreover, Former workers in factories need to have manual and strength skills to perform their jobs, but now the use of technology in factories are required the experience of using computers and programming skills (Herman, 2004). Consequently, this will lead to reduce some employee skills in the workplace. Secondly, the use of technology in the workplace leads to reduced chances to get promotion.
The society would spend a lot of money to buy all sorts of equipments due to the view that technology makes life easier. Based on this perception, people always have gadgets in hand. However, the society is not aware that excessive technology usage may jeopardize health. People would totally depend on gadgets which then make them passive, isolated and other unhealthy lifestyle. It is also a fact that technology wave may
You could find an apartment of your own. You could even rent a house with a few of your friends instead of having to live with your parents until you graduate from college. The year off would allow the student to develop some aspects of independence, reflect on the skills he/she requires and practice on staying alone even in the comfort of family members and friends. This time could be utilized to find an average paying job to start saving for college books, fees, and your tuition. Many college graduates graduate with a large amount of debt, but those who do not use a gap year to earn money so they are not in such debt.
