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.
January 22, 2014 In the article “The Myth of Inferiority”, Allan Culpepper, travels through the different point of view on community college students. Most of the students who enroll in community colleges are typically older students who work multiple jobs, and/or must take care of their children or elder family members. Being financially stable is the luxury that community college students need. Although they may have “hard lives”, that does not justify excessive absences, rewrite opportunities and late papers. Having a hard life cannot be an excuse for missing an excess amount of days.
Of these results 97% were female, 92% indicated they were not minority, the mean age was 53 and they have been teaching for a mean of 14 years. 65% of the respondents believed that their workloads were bigger than they had expected when starting the job; 58% thought that the nursing shortage affected their workloads and 63% thought that technology increased their workloads. 87% of the participants reported overall job satisfaction with their job but if they were to leave it would be due to a job with improved compensation, retirement, improved flexibilityin work-life balance or career advancement. A graph was designed to show the report of impact of barriers on job satisfaction by indicating a percentage of either significant or moderate impact. The highest rated barriers were sense of accomplishment, autonomy in role, support for professional growth, relationship with colleagues, and atmosphere of academic

In Rotherham’s article he says “According to the Bureau of labor Statistics, in 2010, the median weekly earnings for someone with some college but no degree were $712, compared to $1,038 for a college graduate.”the evidence provided clearly shows that getting a higher education and investing time and money into getting a college degree can result in earning more financially for people to support themselves and their families. The opposing side of this argument might say that “even though begin a college graduate, and having a degree can lead to finding well paying jobs. Graduates are often left drowning in
The percentage of blacks eligible for admissions for UCLA has doubled in recent year, yet fewer than one hundred blacks are expected to enroll this fall. The reason is that there is too much weight in admissions based on the SAT (Rogers). Blacks make up for most of the students in urban districts and these districts usually have low funding. The SAT does not discriminate based on gender, race, or economic status, but universities also do not know the other factors contributing to the student’s score. The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) has made the SAT a requirement for clearing at the division I and II levels.
How has Aurora Textile performed over the past four years? Be prepared to provide financial ratios that present a clear picture of Aurora’s financial condition. Exhibit 1 shows Income statement of Aurora Textile Company for the fiscal years 1999-2000. As mentioned in the introduction, Aurora had remained main efficient plants by reducing inefficient operations, but its sales show downward trend and in 2002, it decreased about 40% to compare performance in 1999. Due to the fact that Asian and other foreign textile manufacturers have been exported aggressively and consumer preferences are requiring higher-quality products with minimum defects, like other firms, Aurora tends to produce small amount of yarns produced with minimal period and provide to customized markets.
Engaging the Adult Learner by Student’s name Code+ course name Professor’s name University name City, State Date Engaging the Adult Learner Assignment INTRODUCTION Research has shown that most undergraduates usually study less, work more and take a long period of time to complete their degrees. This research conducted by Steel in the year 2010 revealed that only a quarter of the university students nowadays follow the “traditional” way of learning that involved full-time and residential learning. This poses a great challenge to the universities and other institutions of higher learning to rethink the undergraduate programs so that they can come up with a better program that offers distance education, part-time learning and even the crash programs that will enable a student to complete the course within the shortest duration possible. The group of “non-traditional” students comprises of members who are older than the “traditional” students. They prefer taking night classes because they spend their day working in companies and organizations.
Link between income and happiness is mainly an illusion Money won't make you happy, or at least, not as happy as you might think. While most people believe that having more income would make them happier, Princeton University researchers have found that the link is greatly exaggerated and mostly an illusion. Two Princeton professors came to the conclusion that: People with above-average income are relatively satisfied with their lives but are barely happier than others in moment-to-moment experience. They tend to be more tense, and do not spend more time in particularly enjoyable activities. Professors conducted a survey, in which women were asked to report the percentage of time spent in a bad mood the previous day, they were asked to predict how much time people with certain income levels spend in a bad mood.
The main goal of Vanderkam’s article was to eliminate the social inequality assumption that men make more money than women, and also, that women are no longer going to be considered a minority in the workforce. Vanderkam referenced a Wall Street Journal article that concluded women in major United States cities make anywhere from eight to twenty-one percent more money than male workers (the same age, and in the same field). Vanderkam feels this type of data proves that more women are going to college, and more women are seeking full-time employment after college graduation. Many argue that social inequality still exists, and is in favor of women. In studies provided by the Census Bureau, women proved to have worked more hours per week than men.
