Does education provide us beneficial benefits for a successful life? In reality, it depends on you as a person based on what you are striving to learn or seek from college. Students who believe college provides good experience and are worthwhile to obtain their careers such as doctors anything that is required to progress it will be understandable. At a young age from 17 to 18 years old are required to go to college because it is expected they do so. Sadly, the majority of students beginning in college still do not know what they want to do with their lives. Why go to college and accept loans or pay debt on something you still need time to think about. Below will be provided a video where it explains more depth towards college.
While reading the articles it has proven to me that even if students graduate in college sometimes they may not seek what they've been waiting for. Graduate students working as a full time career job has given them challenges and upcoming circumstances of responsibility. One of the articles discusses an example of a regular day as a graduate student obtaining their career with hard work and excess hours staying in work. By the end of the day we can relate within our community where we go to errands such as shopping and waiting in a long line. The hunger, tiredness, and desire to be home is something that should be concerning because maybe the career doesn't mean something towards you. The freedom of choosing their own education and getting well-adjusted is important to be discussed.
Furthermore, making the realization that college is not providing to engage students to go to college. Students believe they need to go to college because it's a huge expectation and obligation to look good for the public and their families. But, what is actually the purpose of the students being there? Colleges need to provide excellent professors to guide them to success and passing well. Not easy lectures ,but as challenging and learning as possible. Watching the film discuss how professors are meeting up with students' needs as consumers on being “good professors” giving less work. Students' academic achievement should not stand on their own opinion ,but rather to prepare them for the future by letting them use their minds to be challenged. In fact the film stated that 44% fail to graduate in 6 years. There are probably so many distractions that are not important to include within the university such as pools, sport activities, art, and anything that is not an inconvenience that will help you in future life. The reason why students do not focus on their learning is because there is partying within the campus and it is allowed.
Sadly, even if the students graduated from college they will get their careers. There are people out there who do not have a career despite having a degree. Is college worth it? It all depends on the type of career and how the students are engaging in their own careers.
Isabel,
ReplyDeleteYou give good food for thought about college, and about not rushing into to such a huge decision without a career goal in mind.
