Why People Can T Go To College

Improved Essays
I believe some people can’t go to College and some people could, because I think it depends on how much money parents and child the have to get them into college, and other students just don’t want to go to College at all. Some Students have to leave unexpectedly from school or drop out of College because it’s an family emergency or their sick themselves. Rosie from “Blue Collar Brilliance” had to quit school in the seventh grade because she had to help raise her brothers and sisters. It’s hard when you have money problems, but some parents still pay the tuition because they know in their heart the child really wants to have a degree. A lot of people don’t have the money to go College, so they get a job and raise enough money to get into

    Pharinet’s short essay, “Is College for Everyone?” appeared in an AssociatedContent.com blog. She explains that college will not be for every person since some aren’t willing to learn or even cares about learning in college. Student determination towards continuing with college is simply because it has become the norm for today’s society, their parents urge them to, and the many ways on how receive financial aid. There’s a very seldom number of students that continue after high school with college who genuinely want to learn and give it all their effort.…

    Charles Murray’s “Are Too Many People Going to College” makes key points as to why so many students now go away to college and why they should consider not attending the four years of continued education. Murray discusses many aspects such as why so many students feel the need to further their education, when to focus on the liberal arts in a child 's education, and whether all students have the mental capacity to attend college. He then questions if acquiring a degree is necessary for all jobs and comments on the labels that come with not pursuing a higher education To begin with, Murray suggests that a liberal arts education should be taught to students at a young age and should be the foundation of their education. He points out that young…

    “College Calculus” Kenzie R. Lincoln Roncalli High School College Calculus In “College Calculus” John Cassidy presents both sides regarding whether or not a higher education is necessary. For hundreds of years Americans have stated that a higher education is key to human betterment. Recently the demand for a higher education has increased because it does not just help a person acquire higher-paying jobs; it also raises wages and helps with rising inequality. Colleges have also continuously failed to prepare graduates to perform tasks that the economy requires.…

    For example, In the documentary film Ivory Tower it shows, two of the most influential people in our industrial who have dropped out of higher education such as, Mark Zuckerberg, and Bill Gates. And today they happen to be one of the most successful and respectful people out there. So if a student believes that school isn’t for them then I don’t see the point of going to a classroom and sitting down wasting your time and money rather they can go out and find other ways to become successful even if it’s the hard way.

    Nearly one half of all college-qualified, low-and moderate-income high school graduates are unable to afford college. During the first decade of the twenty-first century, 4.4 million high school graduates will not attend a four-year college, and about 2 million will not attend no college at all (Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance 2002). I think the most important social problem is the increasing cost of college tuition, not only is this a personal trouble, but a public issue as well. It is a personal trouble because you cannot receive the education you need to pursue your possible future career and a public issue because the higher the tuition cost, the higher unemployment rate. Most students are eligible for grant aid, a transfer…

    It’s hard to believe that once upon time, Americans did not have the dreadful worries of finding a way to prepare for the financial necessities for college. Now, college is becoming more of a dream rather than a reality as high tuition rates becomes the number one reason why Americans are not advancing themselves into higher education. In some cases, there are college students who receive full-ride scholarships to the college they desire; however, the majority of those who do go to college do not obtain the same luck. Those students who do continue their education and go off to college find themselves short of financial aid, out-of-pocket cash, and even scholarships. This causes students to resort to taking out a student loan.…

    Now on the surface this may seem like a step backwards as to why people don’t want to go to college, but it’s a reason in and of itself. Some people have a path in life they want to go down, and college may not lead them any farther or closer to their goal so they decide not to go as they find no use for it at the moment. I myself am very capable of going to college, yet the way my career works doesn’t require that I go to a college, only that I provide for myself and my family with enough time in my day to pursue my passion as an artist. Not every reason for not going to college is purely logical or explainable. Sometimes it’s as simple as, “I’m not going to college because I just don’t want to go to…

    The parents do their job by telling or forcing their child to go to college, yet it all depends on the child if he or she wants to pursue a degree or not; if he or she wants to work hard on earning the education. Moreover, even if a student wants to do or is doing everything possible to earn the education that he or she needs, yet they still cannot because the parents are not involved much in the college or “having been through the system” (Miller 674). Some students just attend four years of education because their parents are paying for it and that is what children of their social class are supposed to do after they graduate from high school (Murray 677). Those students would go to the college because they are enforced to, but not because they desire…
