Sure, they will still glean some of the benefits unknowingly, but overall, they will not make as much progress as a person. Davis shows the importance of all the other aspects of education by calculating and comparing hours in a week. He finds that on average, a person will only spend 43.5 hours in a week working while they have 70.6 other non-sleeping hours a week (Davis 29).

    Levine expresses that “whether start-up adults are choosing a college major or charting a career course (or both), their decisions should be informed by insights into their own their own strengths, weaknesses, and affinities”. Also that those high schools should help students figure out who they are and what would best career choice for them. Next, Levine claims that young adults graduate with the lack of experience, wisdom, and judgement “when it comes to the real world of work” (22). For this purpose Levine contends that “All schools should stress career education, exposing students to the realities of careers, the rewards and the impasses, and the roller coaster-rides pervading every work life” (22). Levine shares that as a result of these students may come across new career choices they may not have opened their minds to…

    On October 1, 2015 I attended the Major’s Fair at The Ferguson Center, and I contained very helpful information. I visited the Criminal Justice and Interior Designs major table.

My results also show that I am an intuitive person which means that I perceive information by using what my gut tells me.…

    College is a life investment just like starting a business, buying and selling stocks, or deciding on having children. But should everyone consider this investment in education? David Leonhardt says, “clearly” but Chris Matthews thinks more thought should be given to the process. Both of these journalists have valid points, but neither of them can decide what is best for each individual, especially having admitted that their findings are based on general, money-centric, paths that not everyone can follow for personal reasons. I, personally, found college to be worth it with some information these writers use in their arguments and some information that pertains to my life that they could not factor into their generalized research.…

    “Even within a school, the choices a student makes about his or her field of study and later career can have a large impact on when he or she gets out of her degree” (Owen and Sawhill 215).

In other circumstances, though these majors are higher on the PayScale, recent studies have figured that architecture graduates have rather high unemployment. A source to this condition, is the deterioration of the construction industry that occurred during the Great Recession. “US gross domestic product fell by 4.3 percent, making this the deepest recession since World War II.…

    It starts at an early age; the American Dream is shoved down the throats of children with the ever-so pressing question: what do you want to be when you grow up? Most kids answer generically; they all are quick to respond with doctor, teacher, firefighter, president. These kids are then met with a smile and a gentle nod as they are told to pursue that career path in their futures. But what if, instead, those children said that they wanted to be artists, writers, musicians? They would not be taken seriously or met with the same passive response.…
