Mno Bogosyan Mrs. Wolsky AP English Language 13 November 2013 To what extent do our schools serve the goals of a true education? What is education? Learning something new?

But after taking this class I found out that in order to claim that you are competent, you need over all knowledge, skill, motivation, appropriation, and effectiveness. My first mistake was that I was not specific on what I was competent in. I gave a very broad and undefined skill that could be defined as anything by an employer. Secondly, I put that I was competent in a bias way because I claim myself to be competent but was I really competent enough to work for the company I applied for? These are few of the many things you have to think of before you put that you are competent in your resume.
For a company to retain talent it must offer more incentives for the employees than that of its competitors. Your company encourages the decisions and ideas of the employees but more programs could be put in place to help retain employees. Implementing a program that offers rewards for time and cost savings not only benefits the employee but also the company by projecting a positive image of employee worth to the company. Keeping the companies hiring practice on the national level is required for all employees that work in the retail stores but if there is a need for technology or manufacturing of a particular product I would recommend global labor. The ability to tap into the global labor market will make the company more competitive by being able to offer competitive prices on products due to lower overhead cost associated with the offset in the labor cost.
The Human Resources Departments throughout the country are well aware of institutions that will grant a degree based on “life-experiences” for a nominal fee or for-profit schools that offer degree programs. There are several factors that determine that an earned degree online is not equal to a traditional degree when looked at by an employer, but these factors stand out: the degree field and industry, institution and accreditation. Degree Field and Industry The choice of degree field is a major component in determining whether a “gatekeeper” (anyone within a company or organization that has a “voice” in the hiring process) will be impressed with the educational standing when investigating how one’s degree was obtained. A traditional degree is by far more important to an employer than a degree earned online in areas that are more traditional, for example: health field, accounting, and engineering to name a few. Based on studies by Adams, DeFleur & Heald (2007), when a decision for a position in healthcare was needed “(95 percent) would prefer an applicant with a traditional degree over someone with an online degree” Columbaro, & Monaghan (2009).
Without those papers I would be lost trying to recall what happened. Going through my papers I found I wasn’t very good at reading. At least that’s what I thought at first. I was reading my teachers comments and they all basically stated that I needed to concentrate and I would be fine. The first paper I came across was the results of a pre-reading composite test from kindergarten.

Rationally the logic is sound, we take on debt in order to get a good paying job which we can use to pay it back later. Unfortunately it’s not that simple anymore. College used to be the place you go in order to get better jobs than the rest of society, kind of like a shortcut to success. Nowadays that is no longer the case, in fact, the opposite is true. If you don’t go to college, you are almost guaranteed to not get a job, or if you do it will only be a minimum wage job, with no job security, that won’t even pay for the cost of living.
So now people are looking for better ways to make money instead of manual labor. Today in our society it is important to get a college education and being able work at a job that you enjoy doing. Most jobs today require a bachelor’s degree; college can give you the knowledge that you can use in a specific field or work. It can help you improve your education and knowledge that pertains to your interest and most of your entire major. “Whether that is a technical field such as engineering or medicine or an arts field such as education or history.
It also serves as a symbiotic relationship between the volunteer and the recipient. This can be attributed to the fact that participation in community service simultaneously helps diversify an individual's college application while providing free, beneficial services to the recipient. Research has also shown that on average, students involved in any sort of community service graduate at a higher rate than those who are not. Inner city school districts such as Chicago, Seattle and Washington D.C have noticed this trend and as a result have made it a mandatory graduation requirement. Some politicians in New York City are pushing for the city's school system to follow suit though the Board of Ed has refused to do so.
How this course has made me a better business leader. Courses such as this one are valuable in that they allow you to develop skills that you may already have but haven’t really refined. They allow you to gain an appreciation for the practical applications of knowledge and to learn how to apply them to your normal work day. In my specific case it has allowed me to broaden and deepen what I thought I already knew. The scientific method is not new to most of the students in these classes.
