There are several different varieties of post-secondary schools for education and experience. A more logical choice would be to stay in one’s own state to attend a post-secondary school due to the fact it is closer to one’s own home and is often cheaper for instate residents. However, this is not always the case. Therefore, I have chosen to research an out-of-state university under the belief that it suits me the best. The following essay will detail the information that has been researched when deciding how and where to continue my post-secondary education. The University of Oregon is an ideal choice for post-secondary education for the reason that it has various options when deciding one’s major/minor, and it has various exciting programs …show more content…

    The Pros And Cons Of Post-Secondary Education

    Epictetus a Greek-born philosopher was born a slave. He said, “Only the Educated are free.” Unfortunately, Epictetus did not predict that even the basics of education would not be free in the future. With the cost of post-secondary studies at an all-consuming high, and ever getting higher, many people find it hard to cope in a society where education is necessary but not available to everyone. The high cost of tuition affects not only current and future students, but their families, the labour market and Canada as a whole.…

    The Benefits Of Pursuing Post-Secondary Degree

    Every semester I ask myself the same three questions and the longer I have been pursuing post secondary the more I think about the costs of post-secondary in comparison to the benefits of my degree. I work part time at Bed Bath and Beyond to help my parents pay rent and keep food on the table so every time I look at class registration I always artistically stack my classes like Greek columns to grab as many hours as I can at work. My father always says that you can’t do anything without money and it’s the truth you can’t, and it shames me because the academic route I decided to take isn’t known for the Steve Jobs of the world but rather the eco-terrorists and political upstarts. Public policy has always been my passion because of the social…

    Post Secondary Education In Canada

    Introduction: Take a second to consider what is more helpful to Canada and its citizens: Canada spending tax revenues paid by Canadian citizens on the first two years of post secondary education, or spending tens of billions of dollars on a war machine that is not even useful to us. That’s right, the Canadian government is planning on using up to $50 billion of tax money earned by the citizens on new war machines, even though there is currently no threat to Canada, the last being over two centuries ago. Does it not make more sense to provide Canadians education that could lead them to strengthening our economy? This is why I think the first two years of post secondary education should be free; the amount of debt/people with debt will be cut…

    Post Secondary Education In Canada

    In this paper, I argue that neo-liberal policies effect post-secondary education in Canada. I determine what the barriers are and how we can overcome them. I will look at the rise of tuition, disability and cultural differences to see if they aid as a barrier. Post-Secondary education in Canada has become very demanding the last couple of years. Many students want to pursue careers and get an education that helps them in the future, from a neoliberalist approach young people have to “chase credentials” to gain security in future education (Lakes & Carter, 2011).…

    Summary: The Importance Of Post-Secondary Education

    Post-secondary education and degree completion has become more important to our nation’s economic success than ever before. In an effort to increase higher education attainment in the United States, President Obama has established a national goal of graduating five million more Americans by 2020. As the United States attempts to emerge from an economic downturn, there is a strong push at the national level to increase college-going among adults who have some college experience but no degree. According to the U.S. census bureau, approximately one fifth of adults age 25 and older have started college, earned some credit, but never completed (Shapiro et al., 2014).…

    Persuasive Essay On Mandatory Community Service

    An elderly woman who got to take part in a high school community service project states, “Many think that volunteering is all about what you give. But what catches you by surprise is how much you receive in return.” This demonstrates why many people do not feel that they should give back because they do not believe the benefits that they can get from it as well. Consequently, when creating that feeling of happiness and satisfaction in someone else’s life, it comes back to the person creating it. Volunteering to help someone get tutored, help the handicapped, involve themselves with a program like Meals on Wheels, certain environmental work, etc., not only does one gain from that, but one’s community has been helped because of them.…
