Reasons To Move Back In The United States

Decent Essays
The United States of America has been around for over 230 years, so why haven’t we perfected the nation yet? I believe the reason we are being held back is because politicians constantly attack each other instead of collaborating on how to make the country better. In order to move forward, we, as a country, need to make changes that are long overdue. For many years, The United States have been working on improving education, our military, and environmental protection, but we still have far to go. If America decides to move forward and make changes we will create more opportunities for the generation following us. Every year high school graduates are pressured into attending college because they are told it is necessary for a successful job.

    In this essay, “College Prepares People for Life,” by Freeman Hrabowski portrays the notion that college is an absolute requirement to prepare students for “THE REAL WORLD”. Hrabowski embellishes the fact that without college, students are not going to be ready for the competitive job market and won’t be able to reach a high level of success if they don’t have the college experience. Yes Hrabowski point of view is completely understandable because in today’s society college has become such a norm and a place if you don’t go you will ostracized for, that students have no choice then to mindless focus on something that they are not passionate about. As a joiner in high school I can vouch first-hand the peer pressure from school, friends, teachers,…

    Should everyone be forced into going to college? Everyone should have the right to choose their future and even if individuals worked hard in college we would still need individuals to make burgers, drive us to places and make pizza. Not everyone needs to go to college because some talents requires college but some don't. There are many underemployed college graduates. In the article, "Actually, College is Very Much Worth It" by Andrew J. Rotherham, in paragraph three it states that there are many rewarding and important jobs that don't require college, in fact there are more college graduates than the current job market needs.…

    In Charles Murray’s “Too Many People Are Going to College” the author presents an argument that uses statistics and logic to state that some people simply do not need to go to college. All throughout high school, students are told by their guidance counselors and teachers that they should be going to college. Charles Murray states that college could even be detrimental for those who do not need it, but are pressured into it. Throughout the essay the author describes the advantages and disadvantages of going to college and receiving the bachelor’s degree associated with it. While going to college and getting a degree is often "seen as the open sesame to a good job", Charles Murray shows that might not be the case (Murray 345).…

    Not all students care to do this right after they get out of high school. This might take a while for students to realize that they might need a degree for the career they want to go into. Eventually the student will get up off their feet and want to make a superior life for themselves and other people, but realizing this takes longer for some people than it does for others. If some students were…

    Making College Debt Free

    The United States must pass legislation making college debt free as it will lead to an increase of graduates that will help the growing demand of higher educated job opportunities and it will also lead to the decrease of debt in the United States. I believe making college debt free will lead to the increase in enrollment in public four year colleges as this legislation will be aimed at making four year public college debt free for low and middle income families. This legislation is known as the RED act which means Reducing Education Debt Act. The RED act focuses on making college debt free, allowing college loan borrowers to refinance loans at lower rates, and allowing Pell Grants to be acceptable to inflation. This legislation could potential…

    I do not agree with this statement, I believe that college will help you in the long run with the job you are looking at no matter what kind of job it is. But, when Bird says “My unnerving conclusion is that students are sad because they are not needed”(Bird 430). She is correct, most high schools willnot treat you correctly in order for you to be “college ready.” Some high schools will still be asking seniors to turn in their work that was due four days ago. That is not preparing them for college at all, they need to grow up and realize they will not be treated like that in college.…

    Today, all high schools prepare their students to achieve one major goal: to attend college so they can have a successful life. There are reasons why people should attend college, but college is not worth all your time and effort. College isn’t worth it because there are other jobs that pay emplo yees well without a college degree, there are better options for education, and it’s too expensive. College isn’t worth it because there are other careers that offer the same or higher salary even if you don’t have a college degree.…

    From the day we start school, it is drilled into our brain that college is the only way to have a good future, but that may not be the case at all. Just ask Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg. Although it helps to have a revolutionary idea like these men, it is not necessary. Ordinary people can also achieve success without a college degree. At least, that’s what Charles Murray in his article “Are Too Many People Going to College?”…

    Throughout our adolescent years, many of us received constant bombardment about attending college after high school. Those with the willpower and motivation in most cases tend to go down the college path; others will see little to no value in the vast expense of college for their chosen trade. Over the years, thru various studies it has been proven that college graduates in most cases earn more over their lifetime compared to high school graduates. On the other hand, you have the occasional high school dropout with the perseverance to work their way up the industry chain eventually if the opportunity is present become paid equal or greater than their fellow classmate. This course of action continually raises one question; is going to college worth…

    Michelle Adam writes in her piece Is College Worth It? “The public knows that the only thing more expensive than getting an education is not getting an education.”. While many will often question the necessity at times, most eventually understand that the need for higher education is absolute in the real world for success. There are many factors to consider when deciding if college is worth it, tuition is at record highs, enormous student loan debt can be with an individual for the majority of their life and the monetary cost of going to college alone will delay aspects of life like moving out, purchasing a home, or even purchasing a car. Statistics show that people with the dream of success in the business world will be extremely limited without the experiences, opportunities, and lessons that…

    Analysis Argument Against Pushing Teens Towards College From an early age, American children are subliminally pushed harder and harder toward the idea of attending college. Even moreso as they grow older, the thought of schooling after graduation is seemingly pounded into teenage head’s by teachers, guidance counselors, and even society. Many say that this “slight nudge” towards the college career path is good for the teens of today. Others, especially teens themselves, feel that the constant mention of postgraduate education is both stressful and tiresome, especially when considering that college isn't for everyone.…

    In the article, “College is a waste of time” by Dale Stephens, Dale gives his persuasive opinions on why college is a waste of time by giving out evidences of how college isn’t fully beneficial and describing people who are successful today without a college degree. Dale describes college as “rewarding conformity, regurgitation, and theory”, instead of, “rewarding independence, learning, and application”. Providing that college is also hungry for people’s wallet, The College Board Policy Center showed that tuitions have increased 3.6 times since 30 years ago. Not everyone needs college to be successful such as Mark Zukerberg who made it big without a diploma. Summing up the article, Dale states that in the end it’s people’s choice to look for…

    “College is the only way to get a job,” was what they kept preaching to my class. Because of this, the entire senior class at my high school planned on going to college. There were only one or two students who did not feel like they needed to go to school. The harmful thing about this brainwashing was that a majority of the students didn’t even know what they…

    Everyone should not be forced to attend college because it is expensive for some students and they might be neither motivated nor interested in it. Do something that is affordable and also interests and motivates you to do. Do not do something because you are told you or you are supposed to; do something that excites you. Every person is unique. If a college type career does not present your happiness, then find a career that does because “higher education is not the key to happiness and success for every person.”…
